--------------2BA19A29C66E4CFD33C9FC30 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Apparently only the HTTP fetches seem to work. The proxy server does ftp & http on port 80 using netscape. It even works if i do a 'GET ftp://ftp.inria.fr/X/contrib-R5/games/xbaby-pl2.tar.Z HTTP/1.0' via telnet connected to it on port 80. But fetch doesnt: # export HTTP_PROXY=proxy.vlaanderen.be:80 # export FTP_PROXY=proxy.vlaanderen.be:80 # fetch -v ftp://ftp.inria.fr/X/contrib-R5/games/xbaby-pl2.tar.Z looking up proxy.vlaanderen.be connecting to proxy.vlaanderen.be:80 fetch: xbaby-pl2.tar.Z: Protocol error # fetch -v http://www.xnet.com looking up proxy.vlaanderen.be connecting to proxy.vlaanderen.be:80 requesting http://www.xnet.com:80/ fetch: remote: 4294967295 / 0 Receiving www.xnet.com (4294967295 bytes): 0% Any ideas ?
