The problem is that for some mysterious reason the ftp_proxy URL you are passing is not being properly interprited as a http URL. It isn't actually running the http downloader but trying to connect to your proxy as an ftp proxy - which is just odd. Do you have no_proxy set in some odd way, or have some weirdo shell or something? I've tried your command line with no troubles at all, including various no_proxy permuations, so I don't know what your trouble is. Maybe you should try some debug statements at the bottom of ftp.cc to see whats up. Jason
