Proxy Code needs to report errors and stop retrying locking out the users account. #741

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a corporate proxy system
2. Have a corporate policy locking out the users entire network account if max 
failed attempts released
3. Configure Editra for proxy and make a typo

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expecting Editra to immediately after first failed attempt warn the user that 
the proxy authentication failed and give them the configuration screen or 
dialog box to fix the authentication parameters.

Instead, it silently appears to retry the invalid authentication parameters and 
locks the users corporate account(s).

IMPORTANT!!! Please answer these questions for any and ALL bug reports

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

What method of install was your version installed with (Binary/Source)?

Binary (Editra 0.7.01 - on Windows 7 32 bit)

If from source: What version of python and wxPython are you using?

Please provide any additional information below.

Editra only makes a network connection for the following 2 things
* Update check / download
* Plugin download

It only tries once per request. Once during startup for an update check (if 
configured to do so) and once to try and load the available plugin list when 
requested in the plugin dialog.

Can look into adding some more notification of the network failures and 
possibly some sort of validate button to the proxy configuration.
