[josm-dev] wmsplugin yahoo maps proxy support

[bluemm1975-osm at yahoo.com]

Hi,
I'm trying JOSM for the first time, after being a long time Potlatch user. I am behind a proxy, and downloading OSM data works fine (haven't tried uploading yet). JOSM settings are Proxy host/port provided, ticked anonymous.

Anyway, I'm trying to get the Yahoo maps layer working, so I'm on JOSM 1137 with wmsplugin 12335 with the webkit-image.zip from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/ewmsplugin (extracted into my path, webkit-image.exe is 25088 bytes and dated 2008-11-26 4:41:56).

All I get is white squares. I see some other messages on the list which mention trouble shooting. If I run the url passed to webkit-image, it works fine in Firefox3 (small rectangle of Yahoo imagery). Using webkit-image, I get a 67kb JPG of 2000x2000 with black background and white rectangle in upper left corner. It appears that webkit-image isn't passed any proxy information. I tried using ""webkit-image.exe /? or "-?" or "--?" or "--help" to no avail. Even if I could find the right settings, the wmsplugin would need to pass it along.

Has anyone had any luck with Yahoo layer behind a proxy??

Cheers, BlueMM
