I have a need to use wget through an FTP proxy server and every
combination of proxy options I have tried has failed. By capturing
packets I have verified that wget never sends the
proxy-user/proxy-password information.
What I see is wget opening an FTP connection to the proxy gateway, but
not attempting to log in as the proxy user. Instead it tries to
authenticate as the remote user immediately.
The specific type of FTP proxy I need to use is what WS-FTP pro and
CoreFTP refer to as "send USER after logon". The proxy gateway in
question wants to get the proxy-user/proxy-password supplied initially,
followed by a "USER <remote-user>@<remote-host>" command to connect to
the actual remote FTP system.
Here is what I have tried:
1. Setting "ftp_proxy" to
"ftp://<proxy-user>:<proxy-password>@<proxy-server> in .wgetrc.
2. Setting "ftp-proxy" to same as above in .wgetrc
3. Setting "proxy-user", "proxy_user", "proxy-passwd", "proxy_passwd"
appropriately in .wgetrc.
4. Setting the command-line option equivalents for all the above.
No matter what I do, the only part of the proxy information wget pays
any attention to is the proxy server address.
Can someone provide a detailed description of how to configure wget for
an FTP proxy and exactly what type(s) of FTP proxy server it will work with?
I'm using wget version 1.9.1 for Solaris 8 (SPARC). The package was
obtained from Sun Freeware.
