My apologies if this is received twice. I sent this to the list last Friday but it doesn't seem to have gotten to the archive, at least.

Do they go into a temp directory before the lftp command wraps up? I have been trying several clients and none of them are working well with http-over-ftp -- lftp seems like the best bet, if I can understand where these files are supposed to appear, and why it is always timing out.

I can mirror a directory just fine when the proxy is not involved, using lftp and regular FTP as the protocol. When an HTTP proxy is involved, the connection times out repeatedly for one of the files (log.txt, 80K in size), and I ctrl-C the process. My question is, what happened to the files that appeared to be downloaded before log.txt? The debug output shows a "200 OK" for each of those files, and the Content-Type and Content-Length are displayed correctly for each of those files, but they do not appear in the directory created by lftp, nor in /tmp. I haven't been able to find much info on how hftp works, in general -- is it completely up to the client how to go about it? Thanks, Curran Schiefelbein
