Hello,
I use R 3.0.2 on Win 7 through proxy server using ".Rprofile" in home
directory that includes "Sys.setenv(http_proxy=proxy_server:port)".
There has been no problem to access the internet for some years.
In this situation, I installed R 3.3.1 and then entered "update.packages
()", however, "Proxy Authentification" window didn't show up and
failed to access the internet. Error messages are as below.

Strange to say, R 3.0.2 is able to access to the internet, and R 3.3.1
shows collect proxy setting in ".Rprofile" by "Sys.getenv("http_proxy")"
From internet information, I added "http_proxy_user=ask" to ".Rprofile", or
" --internet2" to the desktop icon of R 3.3.1, ending up in the same
result.
Please show me the way of proxy setting of R 3.3.1.
