Unable to login - is Witty honoring IE proxy settings? #114

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Witty
2. Attempt login to Twitter.
3. Login fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I cannot login at at all to Twitter using Witty.  I receive "Incorrect 
username or password.  Please try again"  All attempts fail.  The same 
username and password works on the Twitter website and with Twhirl.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.7.23467

Please provide any additional information below.
I am in a corporate location that has web filtering software.  I must set 
my IE proxy settings to a specific internal address to bypass the web 
filtering software.  Is Witty not honoring these settings and thus can't 
speak to Twitter?

Eric,

Have you tried setting Witty's proxy configuration in the options menu?  Click 
on the
"Options" button, then the "Connection" button to see Witty's proxy settings.

Brian,

I cannot get past the username/password dialog box.  The "Options" button, or 
any of
the other buttons (except "Login"), is grayed out.  If I press Esc to ignore the
login request, Witty exits completely.

Alan,

Should we enable the Options button before logon?  I thought I had tested this 
when I
was making the proxy enhancements, but it looks like it works a bit differently 
now.

Yes. with connection and proxy options now, the interaction should allow for 
users to
set that up before connecting. We do need to make sure that there aren't new 
bugs
introduced by enabling the options menu.

As it stands now, I couldn't get a fresh install of Witty 0.1.8b1 to work 
without
manually editing my proxy info to the config file.  (App would start and try to 
log
in, which is impossible until it knows my proxy settings, which Witty won't 
allow me
to enter until I'm logged in. :))

Why not just have Witty check the system-wide proxy settings as the OP 
suggested?

Regardless, Witty is terribly useful.  Thanks for all your hard work on it.

As of revision 346: Option button is always enabled now to allow for editing 
proxy 
settings before login attempt occurs.  Also made modification to improve the 
proxy 
support (similar in nature to grnfvr's patch, but I had already done separely 
in my 
own branch which was merged with the official source).
