Hello:
I reported a problem about FTPing thru proxies
with ComLine, LineMode, etc. several weeks ago and received
no replies. I was able to get it work by applying the
appended patch.
The problem was that libwww got the proxy address,
but deduced the protocol from the physical address, which
comes out to be ftp. Thus it tried to connect to the
proxy server (Squid) with ftp, which promptly failed.
I would like to get some feedback on whether this
patch is the correct fix for 5.0a.
