Description
A user reported an issue with the ScriptRepository on Windows Machines inside ISIS. The ScriptRepository tries to connect through proxy, but it fails, even when the user is able to connect to the site. (probably, not using proxy).

It may be important to know how to reproduce the error:
in Internet Explorer's LAN settings box it had all three of "automatically detect settings", "use configuration script" (proxy.pac) and "Use proxy server" (wwwcache.rl...) ticked. No wonder it's a bit confused. I unticked all but Configuration Script.

Improvement on Proxy Support for ScriptRepository
In Linux machines ScriptRepository used to test the proxy definition, but not in Windows machines. This commit harmonize this in order to verify the proxy definition for both systems.

- Status changed from inprogress to verify
- Resolution set to fixed
Tester:
you will have to set up windows to always suggest proxy. (a wrong proxy). Than, open ScriptRepository. It should check also without proxy. If you are in ISIS, for example, you are alowed to go without proxy, and everything should go smooth.
