Ingo, I have tested this and it works fine. Great, thank you. I had build my own dirty workaround because I tried to patch the Slide code but found that I know too few about it in order to be successful. Right know I am more a programmer user of Slide as I am working on some improvements to the WebDAV plugins for both jEdit and NetBeans. They are both based on the Slide WebDAV library.
This was probably a little change to the code but a huge improvement for mankind. If you are in an environment behind a HTTP proxy that requires you to authenticate and you cannot you are essentially locked out which renders Slide just next to useless. And at least in my person view one of the reasons why I am interested in WebDAV at all is because it seems to be the best way to manipulate files across a proxy / firewall boundary. I know WebDAV is mean to offer a lot of other things but the plain task of updating a webpage on your personal server from the office (during breaks, of course :-) ) can be close to impossible. A lot of companies will not allow you to use FTP (don't even think of NFS or SMB mounts) through their firewall and Web2FTP interfaces are a pain on the neck.

Now you can use new WebdavResource(url, "my-proxy.com", 1234, new UsernamePasswordCredentials("user", "pass")); Please let me know if it works.
