If you mean syntactically correct as in changing: http_proxy=http://DOMAN\user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ into http_proxy=http://DOMAN/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ then wget tries to connect to DOMAIN:80 as a http proxy, with the expected failure that brings.
It's definately being eaten by the shell. The problem is that none of the other wget invocations (or any other parts of the installer) give the shell a chance to eat it, which indicates that it's a bug in choose-mirror. I can't find a svnweb for choose-mirror, so I've not seen the source, but I'm guessing it passes the proxy to the shell for wget in the format I described as a# previously. If it rather were to set http_proxy in the environment before calling wget then the shell wouldn't get a chance to interfere and I could use the format I'd have expected to use, and that is the only format the _rest_ of the installer understands. This is how net-retriever does it, for reference. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, on an alternate email client. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
