Arno Unkrig updated NET-508:
----------------------------

    Description: 
The COMMONS-NET FTP client supports 'FTP over HTTP', but not the other popular 
FTP proxy schemes. The article

 http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/9547/How-Proxy-Server-serves-FTP-clients

describes some of them, but not very precisely an obviously a bit incorrect.

I added proxy support for the ANT FTP task in

 
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/loggifier/code/trunk/ant_issue_54883/src/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/net2/FTP2.java

(search for string "proxyServer"), but I believe that the feature should be 
implemented in COMMONS-NET, not in the application, maybe like this:

{code}
connectToProxyAndLogin(server, port, userid, password, proxyServer, proxyPort, 
proxyUserid, proxyPassword)
{code}

The proxy server that I (must) use is

{noformat}
220 McAfee Web Gateway 7.2.0 build 13935
{noformat}

, and from experiments it supports the following authentication schemes:

{noformat}
 (1) USER pu PASS pp OPEN ftp.acme.com[:port] USER u                     PASS p
 (2) USER pu PASS pp                          USER [email protected][:port] 
PASS p
 (3) USER pu PASS pp SITE ftp.acme.com[:port] USER u                     PASS p
{noformat}

I don't know which FTP proxy servers support which of these flavors, but (2) 
appears to be the most natural and robust to me.
