Hi, the situation: I want to mirror potato on my local maschine. Direct ftp and http requests don't go through our companies proxy und firewalls.
For using our proxy I need authorisation (username/passwd) for any http-application which accesses the proxy. ftp via netscape is working After installing squid on my local machine I found a way that squid does the authorisations for me, any http app no works without doing the authoristion-procedure, any time I start it. Then I've been trying to get the perl script 'mirror' working. It tries to connect via squid, but get's a time out (ftp via netscape to ftp.debian.org works fine) Next try wget: Made the http-authorisation setting in /etc/wgetrc, passive-ftp and so on, it seems to work, it's downloading some stuff, but if I try to use any of the parameters like -m (mirror) Example with http-proxy set to company proxy wget -Y -v -r --no-parent --passive-ftp --http-user=my_user --http-passwd=m y_pass ftp://ftp.rfc822.org:21/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386 ---> no route to host wget -Y -v -r --no-parent --passive-ftp --http-user=my_user --http-passwd=m y_pass ftp.rfc822.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386 Connecting to proxy.koogrp.globus.net:port... connected! Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy authorization required 14:34:01 ERROR 407: Proxy authorization required. wget -Y -v -r --no-parent --passive-ftp --http-user=my_user --http-passwd=m y_pass http.debian.org:21/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386 Connecting to proxy.koogrp.globus.net:port... connected!
