Hi, Our "companys" proxy server is pain in the ass.. all web access _must_ go thru it and on some really mind boglingly stupid reason it decompresses Gzipped files as default. And suprise suprise the maintaince crew is unwilling to change this behaviour.
Because of this behaviour apt-get cant receive the Package files correctly since it pipes files thru gzip which returns an error because its no longer gzipped file since the proxy decompressed it allready. After reading several how-tos etc and man pages I still cant find any suitable configuration parameter for changing this behaviour of apt-get so that it would not pipe the data thru gzip. Has anyone _any_ idea howto get around this? I could allways make redirected sockets to one of our unix servers and thru there bypass the proxy but its ugly,ugly,ugly way to achieve this. If there is no ready "wrapper" or patched apt-get or that mystical config parameter which im not able to find anywhere I probably need to sacrifice few minutes for coding a patch + some CPU time for gcc -) -- - Antti Peltonen - - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - [EMAIL PROTECTED] on #hameenlinna, #projekti - - 31173 writing.. who needs it anyway? - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
