EVALUATION

Fixed to stop using MSI to download sponsor transforms in sponsor offline bundle.
Disable sponsors in online installer, if user is behind Authenticated proxy.
                                     

EVALUATION

Here is an authenticated proxy to use for this fix:

host: dispensable.east.sun.com
port:   8090
Username: dennisgu
Password: dennisgu
                                     

EVALUATION

The fix is in 2 places in the jre (wrapper and wrapper-online):

make/installer/bundles/windows/ishield/wrapper/wrapper.jre
make/installer/bundles/windows/ishield/wrapper_online/jre

If we detect that they're behind an authenticated proxy, we should not apply sponsor transforms.
                                     

EVALUATION

There may be 2 parts to this bug fix.  The online installer still uses the MSI download engine to download the sponsor files themselves.  If behind an authenticated proxy, we should turn off sponsor support.
                                     

EVALUATION

I believe the problem here is that they're behind an authenticated-proxy.  Our download code asks them to login, before downloading the file.  The MSI download code does not prompt the user, so that's why it fails.

The fix here may be to have the offline-s wrapper code determine if we're behind an authenticated proxy.  If so, just don't download the sponsor transform.  This can be determined by checking for HTTP_STATUS_PROXY_AUTH_REQ.  More info at:

I think we should get this into 6u10.
