Cannot connect from my institution through proxy

jfr
Hi,
using the standalone version of zotero, i can neither connect to my webdav files nor to the sync service by zotero.
The problem is that my institution uses a passworded proxy server.
Within firefox this is no problem - but the standalone version does not want to collaborate with the proxy.
Is there a workaround?
Regards,
Jacob

    This is an http proxy issue - the code for the proxy handling should be available in the underlying chrome scaffold that the standalone version of zotero is build on.
    Unfortunately zotero does not let enter (http)proxy settings - am I right?
    The key in firefox is called: network.proxy.autoconfig_url. Alternatively I would be able to enter the IP and the port of the proxy manually.
    Regards,

    There is a button in Standalone's preferences to open about:config-- perhaps you can enter the key there and it'll work?

    when I enter the proxy settings there it does not work -
    but in Firefox it is similar: First I have to open some http (not https) website in order to get the password popup opened, then I can sync zotero. Zotero itself does not fire up the popup dialog - and within zotero standalone I cannot open a normal website :(
    How may I proceed?
