I'm afraid that the prerelease of the Webmaster's Starter Kit
(http://wsk.eit.com/wsk/doc/) doesn't work well behind a firewall,
as reported to me by several people.
The basic server will install but the automatic downloading of
extensions involves a background HTTP transaction that doesn't
know how to use proxies.
I'll look into routing the downloads through proxies; those of
you using proxies may want to wait for the next release.
