Checking for updates does not work behind proxy

[jockie]

Hello!

TLDR: Guess AltDrag isn't using Windows' proxy settings when constructing the socket for update checking.

At work we use a company-wide mandatory web proxy for outgoing traffic to teh Interwebs.

AltDrag 1.0 used to show a detailled error dialogue when pressing «Check now». After updating to 1.1, checking results in an error «Could not determine if an update is available» only.

Thanks for AltDrag, keep up the good work!

Hi.

I remember trying to figure this out one time, but I don't think I found a good solution.

In 1.1 the update checker checks multiple urls (in case I lose access to update the GitHub url). This is why I was forced to release 1.1 when I did, because I was about to lose control over the Google Code update url that I used before.

For now, subscribe to the release RSS feed: https://github.com/stefansundin/altdrag/releases.atom

Thanks for reminding me about this.
