proxy authentication - understanding of workflow

[wumpz]

We want to use the new proxy authentication possibility of getdown 1.8.3.

The problem is, that getdown does download our application artifacts from our servers using the configured proxy with its authentication. But our application itself needs this proxy authentication / configuration as well. GetDown somehow does not send proxy settings to our application. How to achieve this? GetDown starts the application within a new process.

As you have presumably discovered, Getdown passes the proxy info on to the app via the http.proxyHost etc. system properties. Hopefully this addresses your issue. If not, feel free to comment and reopen this issue.
