Yes, my ftp access is via a 'fire-wall session agent' - but at least it
works (any attempt to communicate locally on the ftp port brings up a
username/password box but that can be done once per session).
http access is via an NT authenticating proxy, it also sends 'interim'
messages saying that it's downloaded x% of y as a html page with a reload
after z seconds meta tag. This means that simple apps like wget get
*really* confused and refuse to work :(
If I could change company policy I would... I did manage to get the cvs port
2401 opened though. https is also available through the session agent so I
can use wget with it, but quite a lot of sites don't allow https access to
their normal pages :(
Any and all ideas appreciated!
