Chris was partially right when he pointed out at 'connection' problems. In fact the problem is that in order to have HTTPSocket work behind the firewall in my company (with proxy password) I had to replace Squeak 3.7 version of HTTPSocket class>>httpGetDocument:args:accept:request: with the one from 3.8 The installation of the pre-requisites for smallwiki was at some point reverting the above method back and so my HTTPSockect was not going thru the firewall anymore. I repeated the installation manually, taking care to have always the 3.8 version of httpGetDocument:args:accept:request: and now everything works...
