WebClipping Portlet WCS-510 Errors

Question

Hi, I am trying to get Webclipper to work. I have installed the latest PDK int a 10gAS environment.
The proxy has been configured in the provider.xml file:
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation"> <httpProxyHost>crhois1.ourserver.com.au</httpProxyHost>
<httpProxyPort>8080</httpProxyPort>
<dontProxyFor>ourserver.com.au</dontProxyFor>
</proxyInfo>
But when I configure the webclipping portlet to show a website (internal or external) I get the error:
An exception has occured : WCS-510 -- HTTP connection failed to URL http://theage.com.au by method get
In the application.log file we get errors:
BEGIN nested exception
HTTPClient.AuthSchemeNotImplException: NTLM
I tried to add
     <proxyUser>tempit</proxyUser>
     <proxyPassword>tempit</proxyPassword>
to the provider.xml to overcome this issue, but then I get the error:
An exception has occured : WCS-512 -- HTTP Authentication type of null is not supported
In the application.log we get errors:
04/10/25 11:35:43 webClipping: WARNING: lookup for Show Mode in Clipping Def Phase I
04/10/25 11:35:44 webClipping: WARNING: WCS-512 -- HTTP Authentication type of null is not supported
oracle.portal.wcs.transport.http.HttpTransportException: WCS-512 -- HTTP Authentication type of null is not supported
I found Bug No. 3173038, but it does not give any solution.
Please advise!
Thanks for any posts.

Found the problem: the proxy requires a username/pwd for authentication. There is a bug that will not enable this to work, but will be fixed in the next release (expected December 04).
