Bernd Eckenfels commented on VFS-522:
-------------------------------------
Thanks George!
I doubt this will make it into the 2.1, since I want to get this release done
sooner than later. If somebody contributes a Patch I can of course merge it,
but I am not planning to look into this before the 2.1 (especially since I dont
know and use this Part of VFS). But dont despair, if we can keep up a quick
pace it can go to 2.2 or something (especially if somebody contributes it :)
Currently I am looking through pull requests and issues with pending patches
(only).
> [FTP] Proxy SOCKS && HTTP authentication
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: VFS-522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-522
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: George Toma
> Priority: Minor
>
> Provide support for FTP proxy authentication over HTTP and SOCKS protocols.
> Functional response from Bernd Eckenfels regarding the request for this
> functionality :
> {quote}
> George, well yes it should. However the proxy support for SFTP and FTP is
> just a thin layer on top of the actual implementation (JSch in case of ssh
> and commons.net.ftp in case of FTP). Jsch has its own classes for proxies,
> and therefore can support proxy authentication. The FTPClient only support
> java.net.Proxy (or a Socket factory). So while it is possible to add more
> proxy functionality it is a more complex change. I only have added the
> proposed minor change.
> I do wonder if there is a common socket factory in commons net or somewhere
> which could be used and if somebody want to take over that task. I will close
> this bug, can you open a new one in regards to the proxy authentication (and
> mention this comment).
