(I posted this by mistake to ISPF-L. Trying again here where it more properly belongs. Or should it be MVS-OE?)
Has any reader used curl to fetch a FTP resource via an HTTP proxy through a firewall? Did it work for you? Not for me; I get corrupted data. Example: ALL_PROXY=http://localhost/proxy:80 curl ftp://cbttape.org/pub/cov/MD5SUMS o The problem appears with an HTTP proxy. The client software makes an HTTP request of the proxy, passing the FTP URL as an argument. o Problem does not occur with a local FTP client and server (no proxy). Both type=I and type=A behave properly. o The problem does not occur on an ASCII client, only on z/OS. I assume the proxy knows nothing of EBCDIC, so the fault must lie in curl's ASCII-> EBCDIC conversion. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
