[BUG] Crash On Start-up If Proxy Not Found

#1

Hi There

Apologies if this has been reported before.

After a PC reboot, I found that that build 2181 of ST2 was crashing about 10 seconds after start-up. I tried an un-install/re-install. Tried closing all the open tabs and restarting, nothing. Then I realised that my Fiddler proxy wasn’t running (it had been the last time I was running ST2). I started Fiddler up and then re-started ST2 . Bingo, no crash.

ST2 was making the following HTTP request:

sublimetext.com/updates/2/st … ch=x32&r=0

For some reason, it was still trying to use the proxy, failing and then crashing when it didn’t get a response. I’m not sure why it was trying to use the local proxy actually, the setting in Internet Explorer’s “LAN settings” tab was set to use an autoconfigured proxy (i’m on a corp network).

Hope this is useful! Please let me know if you need any further info.

(System is Windows XP)

Cheers,

Ben
