Hallo, after some tries I finally managed to get a working proxy setting on my system. But I had to add a specific line to the user.r file which, at least to my understanding, should not be necessary. The following is my user.r file: REBOL [ Title: "User Preferences" Date: 29-Oct-1999/20:58:12-1:00 ] set-net [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail.swol.de mail.swol.de proxy.konstanz.swol.de 8080 generic ] system/schemes/HTTP/host: "proxy.konstanz.swol.de" without the last line, I can not use any http thing. Is this intented? Raimund P.S.: my rebol/core version: 2.2.0.1.1 -- Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. -- Albert Einstein
