Greetings,

I hope that someone can comment on the two problems below:

I was trying to use 'wget' to retrieve wild-card ftp URL (this is part of the pkg-get 
script to download freeware code
from sunfreeware.com). The code seems to fail when the request was send thru a proxy. 
I was hoping that this functionality
can be fixed. One easy solution is to use the proxy 'connect' and create a tunnel to 
the actual FTP server, instead of
relaying the url (with the wildcards) to the proxy.

The second issue is related to building wget on SGI - with openssl. I tried building 
wget with 'with-openssl=/usr/freeware.
On most IRIX systems, the libraries are placed in <package>/lib32 or <package>/lib64 
depending on the mode of the code
(64 bit, or the new 32 bit). The <lib> directory is only being used for 'old' 32 bit 
mode. Is it possible to change the configure
script to use the <lib32> directory, when compiling on IRIX with -n32 ?

Thanks

Example for wildcard over proxy server (Netscape 3.5):


ybdev19:/home4/yair> !pkg-get
pkg-get -d db-3.2.9
