Hi, I'm trying to set-up xwiki for my company but I have an issue with our authenticating http proxy which prevents me to install additionnal plugins into xwiki. I searched the FAQ and mailing list archives but could not find a reference to how to use xwiki behind an authenticating proxy (I could only find information on how to use it behind a reverse proxy). I tried to setup the usual JVM properties http.proxyHost, port, username and password but xwiki does not seem to use them. The error stacktrace shows a connection timeout in the HttpClient classes.

So I'd be glad to know if xwiki can be used behind such a proxy, because it's currently a showstopper for us (and I REALLY would like to use xwiki instead of mediawiki).

Thanks for your reply, First here are my proxy settings (I double-checked them and this machine is using this proxy for other tasks): XWIKI_OPTS="$XWIKI_OPTS -Dhttp.proxyHost=myProxyHost -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttp.proxyUserName=myUser -Dhttp.proxyPassword=MyPassword" Then here is part of the stacktrace I get when I try to add an extension via the admin page: -------------------------- Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to request [http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/rest/repository/search?start=0&number…]         at org.xwiki.extension.repository.xwiki.internal.XWikiExtensionRepository.getRESTResource(XWikiExtensionRepository.java:110) ~[xwiki-platform-extension-repository-xwiki-handler-3.4.jar:na]         at org.xwiki.extension.repository.xwiki.internal.XWikiExtensionRepository.getRESTResourceAsStream(XWikiExtensionRepository.java:122) ~[xwiki-platform-extension-repository-xwiki-handler-3.4.jar:na]         at org.xwiki.extension.repository.xwiki.internal.XWikiExtensionRepository.search(XWikiExtensionRepository.java:229) ~[xwiki-platform-extension-repository-xwiki-handler-3.4.jar:na]         ... 160 common frames omitted Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out         at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:310) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:176) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:163) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:384) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:546) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:495) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.Socket.(Socket.java:392) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at java.net.Socket.(Socket.java:266) ~[na:1.6.0_18]         at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.java:80) ~[commons-httpclient-3.1.jar:na]         at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.java:122) ~[commons-httpclient-3.1.jar:na]         at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open(HttpConnection.java:707) ~[commons-httpclient-3.1.jar:na] Une messagerie gratuite, garantie à vie et des services en plus, ça vous tente ?

Thanks for your reply. I'll try the advanced install ASAP. I found out that I can download extensions from the web site so maybe I can also drop them manually in the extensions folder? (could not find any information about installing extensions offline in the admin guide, that's just my guess).
