Getting Token Error for Google Reader account

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I just downloaded and installed GWatchMan 1.0.5.0 and am excited to use it.  I 
am having a problem with Reader.  I am receiving the error "Token Error: The 
remote server returned..." (I am unable to read the rest).

Is this a known issue? Have I set it up wrong?

Thank you,
Ben

Hi Ben,

You couldn't set it up wrong, as there's no set-up.
Is it possible that it is blocked by your firewall or something?
Does gmail checking work properly?
I suspect that somehow your credentials (for reader) are somehow not getting 
through to google...

Maybe I could prepare a version of the app that will show you the whole error 
message?

Kind regards,
Tom

Thanks for your response Tom.  Gmail checking is working correctly.  I am able 
to log in to reader with the same address.  Could the firewall affect the 
reader check and not the email check?  Otherwise, a version with modified error 
output (perhaps to a file) would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

"Could the firewall affect the reader check and not the email check?"

Theoretically no, as the same function is used to send the requests, but it is 
using different type of authentication (for reader the "easy way" is not 
available).

I'll prepare the version with the debugger this afternoon and post a link here.

Please replace GWatch.exe with this version:
http://gwatchman.googlecode.com/files/GWatchman%20v.1.0.5.1%20beta%20-%20debug.z
ip
It will create file: GWatch.log in the same directory.
Run program once and post the content of the log file here.
Thanks!

Ah, I have the full error, and I know what is causing the problem:

"Reader Token error: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy 
Authentication Required."

I was able to connect just fine with GWatchMan on my home PC, but this is on my 
work PC, where we use a proxy.  I know that the only place I set the proxy 
settings are in the IE settings, and other applications seem to be accessing 
when connecting to the internet.  Is there a way that GWatchMan can also 
leverage those settings?

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks Ben,
that's a very good idea. I will look into it.
I'm opening a new issue for that (issue 35)
