Upgrade check fails when I am behind proxy.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Make sure you are behind a proxy server?
2.Run it and the little note will pop up?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Not the error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5.3.796 Windows 8

Please provide any additional information below.
I fix it myself everytime by adding this section to the power8.exe.config file.
 <system.net>
    <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true">
      <proxy usesystemdefault="True"/>
    </defaultProxy>
  </system.net>
</configuration>
Maybe ship it by default?

Hi

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'll be happy to incorporate the fix.
Could you please help me verify couple of things?

1) Let's simplify the config. Try this:
    <system.net>
        <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true"/>
    </system.net>
According to MSDN, nested <proxy> element should ONLY be used when I need to 
change settings, and usesystemdefault="True" works as compatibility layer for 
1.1 apps.
2) What happens if you set this configuration but you DO NOT have stored 
credentials or ther are INCORRECT?

1) Looks good.
2) Then the error should come up because you will not be able to browse the 
internet.
If you don't have stored credentials, then it means you don't use credentials 
(no proxy) and you should have direct connection to the web.

I took my nested proxy out of my config file and will let you know if this does 
NOT resolve it. But so far it is looking OK ;-)

1) Great, thanks. 
2) Well, actually I expect no errors, because:
  a) There're global try-catches around Auto-Updater thread and GoogleAnalytics engine;
  b) The dialog for credentials should probably pop up.
So, for (2) what interests me is: when you clear stored credentials, start 
Power8 and select "enable auto-updates" - what happens:
a) there is a system dialog prompting for credentials;
b) nothing happens, there probably are exceptions internally, and there's a 
warning sign on Power8 button in 12 hours "unable to check updates";
c) Power8 shows error message and crashes.

I'll really appreciate if you can check the case (2).

Sorry, I am trying to help you but our IE settings are controlled by a group 
policy.
So I cannot get my credentials deleted really because it does a domain logon.

Ok, thank you for trying :)
I'll just check in it as is, and when I have spare time will try to run 
something like burpsuit or so... and hope it works then.

Guess, the fix could be really tested only after the next release, so for now 
putting it to Started/Fixed.
