To reproduce:

1 - edit /gnome-source/nautilus/src/nautilus-first-time-druid.c
2 - change line 62, "#define WELCOME_PACKAGE_URI
"http://services.eazel.com/downloads/eazel/updates.tgz"
3 - cd-nautilus && make install
4 - rm ~/.nautilus/first-time-wizard-flag
5 - Run nautilus

Since the URL for the updates.tgz file is wrong, Nautilus can't fetch it. 
However, it responds to this by suggesting that the user needs an http proxy,
which is incorrect.  

Nautilus should interpret a "file not found" response from the web server as a
successful network connection.

See bug 46351 for reference.

Sorry, step 2 above should say "change line 62 ... to contain an invalid URL."

This is silly - there will always be an updates file there, so this will never
matter in practice. Even though it's not hard to fix, I don't see much point.
Why would this ever matter in practice?

Actually, bug 46351 was opened and fixed yesterday because the file disappeared.

I see - so maybe we should fix this to be more graceful when the service
hiccups.  It still seems post 1.0 to me, though.
