http://ftp.company.com is an http protocol url for a server named ftp. Did you mean ftp://ftp.company.com ? http://ftp.company.com is acceptable (Since it starts with http://), but ftp://ftp.company.com would not be. In principle we might be able to add ftp support (It uses curl on the backend which supports ftp, I think its just the validation code that rejects ftp). We'd also need to make sure that the squid proxy supports ftp, (Squid in principle supports ftp, but I have no idea if its enabled in Wikimedia. So basically, I'd suggest filing a bug. If anyone was actually maintaining GWToolset it would probably get fixed. Given the current situation, who knows. > > 2.

Which are quite high, so it would probably be fine on that count. -- -bawolff _______________________________________________ Glamtools mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/glamtools
