------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jan 19 04:02:46 -0800 2007 ------- Operating under Windows XP SP2 OpenOffice 2.1 is configured with 'System' as the selected proxy configuration option. Connecting through Fedora 2 proxy with Squid Cache enabled. Initially 'Check for Updates Automatically' prompts for user proxy credentials and the operator enters credentials selecting to have the credentials remembered using the available check box. OOo completes the checks and reports itself as being up to date. On a subsequent manual or automatic update check OOo again prompts for user credentials with the user and password field blank but the 'Remember' check box pre-selected. If the user proceeds deliberately or accidentally without re-entering the credentials then. Some period later after a restart with Quickstarter loaded, OpenOffice Update floods the proxy server with connections using invalid or missing credentials. Linux Proxy reports IP_ConnTrack Dropped Packets, Squid reports thousands of failed connections to the OpenOffice Update URL over a short period. "Check for Updates Automatically" does not re-prompt for credentials or report a connection failure. This behaviour persists until the problem resolved in the short term by either; Closing Quickstarter which ends connection attempts. Forcing a manual check entering corrected credentials when prompted. or Bypassing the proxy for 'openoffice.org'. A subsequent manual update and OpenOffice prompts again for the proxy credentials with the user and password fields blank but the 'Remember' check box still pre-selected. Credentials can be entered but again will not be 'Remembered'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
