I checked and you are right. I blindly believed the proxy credentials are also 
queried from the user via the management interface but that's not the case 
currently. Haven't look too much at the proxy code obviously. =) The GUI could 
use the auto flag with the --http-proxy option in the future, I'll give it a 
try next week.

The incomplete filename is caused by a too small buffer in the GUI. You must 
be using a hostname for the proxy and it's somewhere close to 30 characters 
long, right? I'll add a bug to the tracker for this then. In the meantime, 
could you please try if it works for you using the proxy IP address.

Yes, I remember removing this. Thought it had no additional information.
Maybe a better solution would be to query the system for the right proxy. 
Pointers anyone?
