cannot set proxy password in restricted corporate environment even programmatically

Question

When I change login/password through User settings, they don't persist. So I set it programmatically

proxy: system/schemes/default/proxy

set in proxy 'host xxx.yyy.www.zzz
set in proxy 'port-id xxxx
set in proxy 'user "login"
set in proxy 'pass "password"
set in proxy 'type 'socks

It did persist but when testing it with

read http://google.com

it takes forever.

These settings work with Firefox so why can't rebol works with them ?

Answer 1

REBOL support for proxies is patchy. For instance it does not work with Squid. So, that's likely the reason why you're having issues.
