Hi, I noticed the hard way a hidden "missing feature" of pkg-get. <http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/pkg-get.html> pkg-get desesperatly needs the FTP globbing feature of wget. The big problem is, FTP access is often possible from private networks only through an HTTP proxy. When you tell wget to use this HTTP proxy to do the FTP access, via definition of the variable 'ftp_proxy', wget naturally switches to the HTTP download mode. But... HTTP globbing is not supported (yet ???) by wget ! My conclusion : pkg-get is unusable from a private network. Sincerely, Marc.
