Whoo-hoo, victory!
Al-be-it in weird and wonderful ways.
Let me start with a thank you for your patch, however it was not
required in the end.
The short version:
set hftp:use-type no
The long version:
After applying the patch, the software still didn't work. The Authorized
header was added, but it made no difference. I managed to get my packet
sniffer to print the successful request from Galeon to a text-file and
noticed that there was a space between the file name and the HTTP
header:
GET ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/somefile HTTP/1.1
Where lftp had:
GET ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/somefile;type=i HTTP/1.1
Hunting through the source gave me that there existed a setting called
hftp:use-type, setting it to no, made the ";type=i" disappear and all
was well. This setting does not appear in the manual or any of the
accompanying documentation (that I could find) - although a google
search does turn up documentation about it.
For those reading the archive at some future time:
I'm using tellique or tqrecv as my proxy over port 9202. To get lftp to
talk to the proxy I used the following three settings:
set ftp:proxy http://127.0.0.1:9202
set hftp:use-authorization on
set hftp:use-type no
Thanks to Alexander for the software, the patch and the great support.
