Description & Comments:
I am behind MS ISA proxy. So, in order to use Fossil, I tried to install second proxy on 127.0.0.1:80 - namely 'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server' (ntlmaps) that to provide authorization to the MS server. So, ntlmaps have log that shows the clients requests. The proxy works - I tested it with several programs that does not support MS proxy. But Fossil does not works properly with such settings. It returns an error: unknown repository: 127.0.0.1:80 where 127.0.0.1 is actually the address of ntlmaps. I have tried all possible options: --proxy; setting the proxy from the fossil user interface, environment variables, etc. In the log of ntlmaps there is no any request from fossil. It looks like fossil thinks 127.0.0.1 is the remote URL and tries to sync with it.

I found the problem. The address of the proxy must begin with "http://" prefix. But IMHO, this fact must be thickly pointed in the documentation or/and FAQ.
