Proxy server settings
I can login to twhirl from home. Office has a proxy server and I don't seem to find a place to enter proxy details in twfirl. Can someone help?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Thwirl is working fine at work for me, even with a company proxy on... But maybe my company network (firewall) is more permissive than yours...
Anyway : proxy settings (with authentification) is a must-have on thwirl..

Inappropriate?Ok... some news... It looks like my company network is more and more restrictive...
In this list : seesmic, identica, friendfeed, twitter... only the twitter panel is working fine... for all the rest : "unable to connect"...
For Seesmic panel : keep asking the login / password again and again
For friendfeed panel : "friendfeed data unavailable for technofeliz" message
For identica panel : "error receiving dents" message
I’m impatient

Inappropriate?I can connect to twitter using Digsby because it has proxy support. Twhirl, it appears, does not. I don't really know if it's a twhirl thing or an Adobe Air thing--perhaps someone more savvy can chime in please?
I’m sad

Inappropriate?I can't speak for all platforms, but I was able to get twhirl working behind a proxy server on Linux by setting the AIR_PROXY_SERVER and AIR_PROXY_PORT environment variables to appropriate values. I suspect that for other platforms, the solution is in air, not in twhirl, and there's some way in other environments to configure air to use proxy servers.

Inappropriate?@mlvezie Thanks for the tip !
Unfortunatly, I use Linux at home (no proxy...) and Windows at work (with a f****** proxy with f****** authentification...)...
I understood that with Linux, you can even use this syntax :
AIR_PROXY_SERVER="http://username:password@proxy_ip_address"
AIR_PROXY_PORT="port_number"
, for authentification... (did'nt test this...)
With Windows, I just gave a try with this tip a few minutes ago, but it's not working...
Still no solution with Windows...

Inappropriate?My office didn't block twhirl's access until this week.Our <insert> firewall is Cisco's Ironport, using NTLM authentication.
This is a pain, because even many programs that support standard proxies don't handle NTLM-auth proxies.
Obviously I'd love to see NTLM-auth proxy support, however standard non-authenticating proxy support would be fine, because I've got a script running on a Linux server that acts as a simple proxy, and handles the NTLM authentication for programs that can't do it themselves.
Because both Firefox & IE can handle NTLM-auth transparently, and Chrome only asks once per session, and because a large number of the sites I hit are behind our firewall, I don't want to set the proxies system wide from the OS, instead I need application level proxy control.</insert>
I’m annoyed
