George Toma commented on VFS-522:
---------------------------------
Hi Bernd,
Can I have a look and give a try with the development for this task ? I really
need this to be shipped on 2.1 as soon as possible.
Apache Commons Net is used for this functionality, and they have support for it.
Thank you very much for your prompt answers.
Regards,
George
> [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).
