Hi, I am running debian sid with apt-0.5.27.
When $ftp_proxy starts with "http", then methods/ftp will immediately execute methods/http ignoring the no_proxy variable. My environment looks like this: http_proxy=http://proxy.mydomain.foo:80/ ftp_proxy=http://proxy.mydomain.foo:80/ no_proxy=mydomain.foo /etc/apt/sources.list contains: deb ftp://mirror.mydomain.foo/debian sid main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://mirror.mydomain.foo/debian sid main non-free contrib Since mirror.mydomain.foo doesn't run a proxy on port 80 it is impossible to connect without unsetting $ftp_proxy before running apt-get. I had a look at ftp.cc, but don't know where to get the ftp server name from inside main(). Regards, Andreas
