The problem is related to the handling of proxies. according to the man page, assuming that my proxy is a squid running on default port, the correct syntax would be: HTTP_PROXY=proxy.my.net and this would automtically use http for protocol to proxy, port 3128, and send ftp-requests through the http-proxy. However, I have discovered that the only way to achieve this, is to set the following: FTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.net:3128 HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.net:3128 I believe this to be a documentation bug, and not a library fault. //Svein Skogen (tds-dmns@efnet) >Description: >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
