ASIDE: For efficiency, I will actually need three things: (1) a list of all= packages (2) their descriptions and (3) their run-time dependencies. NOTE: I'll need run-time dependencies so that as they're checking boxes in = the UI, I can update accordingly (has nothing to do with how the dependenci= es are handled when the packages get installed; I'll let pkg handle that wh= en it comes time, but for the UI and for the "review" screen, I want the us= er to be informed and I can do that more efficiently if I have a master-lis= t and don't have to make continuous queries). That being said, I was planning on doing a "pkg rquery" to get that master = list of [minimally] 3-pieces of information. What protocol does that "rquery" run on? What would one have to do to set u= p their own server that can accept an "rquery"? (our customers don't have I= nternet access) Last but not least... Can you do an "rquery" on a local repository? (say, one that has been mount= ed via NFS or some other media, local or otherwise but looking like a local= filesystem once-mounted). What would be required to get a local repository= like that going? > I do suspect that HTTP_PROXY support is probably not available as I > recall seeing a post where someone was asking about that getting > implemented for fetch. I'll have to research that again, though. Thanks. Keep me up to date on that. Neither sysinstall nor bsdinstall really give HTTP_PROXY access much though= t (they support it, but only minimally). They just construct a raw HTTP hea= der with the FTP URL and send that directly to the proxy. One cute thing it= does (when initializing the connection) is test for Squid and if-so, appen= ds ";type=3Di" to the URL (to force binary download versus ascii). No support for proxy-server authentication (however user/pass authenticatio= n for the FTP server is passed through to the proxy-server). --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
