---------------------------------------------------------
COMMONS-NET's FTPHTTPClient does NOT work with the McAfee FTP proxy: The client
does not receive the ftp server's greeting message and thus hangs forever.
Obviously McAfee expects the CLIENT to be the first to send data, which is not
the case for the FTP protocol. I'd consider McAfee's behavior a bug.

> Add support for FTP proxies
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: NET-508
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-508
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: FTP
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Arno Unkrig
>
> 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.
