My computers at my office will no longer be able to connect directly to web sites etc. I will be going through a proxy server. The particular server is running squid on port 3128.
I have managed to configure web browsers, ssh, apt, svn and a whole lot of other tools to use the proxy server but I haven't been able to configure rsync. My usual method of updating my copy of the R-devel sources is via cd my_R_devel_sources svn up ./tools/rsync-recommended cd my_R_build_directory ... Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get rsync-recommended to work through a proxy? I have set export RSYNC_PROXY="machine.name:3128" which I understand from the documentation is the magic environment variable (I don't give the name of the server explicitly because it is an open proxy). However, I still get [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/r-devel$ ./tools/rsync-recommended bad response from proxy - HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden rsync: failed to connect to machine.name: Success (0) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(94) *** rsync failed to update Recommended files *** Creating links Is it likely that the proxy server is not passing connections to port 873? ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
