Ok. So it connects to the proxy and just tells it where you want to
go... much like squid I believe... REBOL does not yet do FTP through a
squid proxy. The problem with these generic ftp proxies is that some
of them, squid included, return an HTML version of the directory lists
which has to be parsed. The big problem here is that it's likely that
squids' HTML is going to take a different form than some other one so
a set of parse rules must be written for each one... real pain.
That's why it hasn't been done yet. I'm guessing that yours does not
return HTML though since ws_ftp works (it doesn't go through a squid
proxy). So maybe there is a window of opportunity there to do some
generic FTP proxies.
Well, I've added this thought to my evergrowing list and will
look into it.
Do you know if ftp_wg how can be acquired? commercial product?
shareware? freeware? We'd need one to look at to see how it works.
Just a few day demo would be good enough.
