After following Marius' advice on setting the username and password in the advanced wifi dialog I can get the application manager to successfully refresh the application list where it had failed before. The problem that this creates is that opera will no longer connect to any websites -- it gives an invalid url message. The only solution I have to this problem is to setup two connections in the connection manager one that supplies the username/password with the connection for installing apps and another that contains no username/password for browsing the web. I will attempt the GConf solution tonight and post the results tomorow.

I never really tried it myself, but it should be possible, but not in a nice way. The Application Manager gets its proxy configuration from the /system/http_proxy/ keys in GConf, including /system/http_proxy/authentication_user and /system/http_proxy/authentication_password. The Application Manager will not ask the user for a user/password when the proxy requires it but they have not been set in GConf. (The excuse for this is that we use the apt-get http method unchanged and that method doesn't ask.) The question is, how do you get user/password values into GConf?

You could try putting "user:password at 10.0.0.1" into the "HTTP proxy" field in the "Advanced settings" tab of the Connection manager "Connection setup" wizard. Note, no "http://"; prefix and no port suffix. If this works, we should document it somewhere. (I was hoping for a more general system-wide "Download Manager" kind of thing that would take care of all this for the Application Manager and other applications.) --------------------------------- Expecting?
