Re: [9fans] telnet to port (and webfs debug))

hg is using ape port of python which comes with its own http library. wrote a hg extentsion that makes it use webfs instead, so i can keep my credentials in factotum/secstore: [extensions] hgwebfs= in your $home/lib/hgrc -- cinap

Re: [9fans] telnet to port (and webfs debug))

For future reference: hg (and thus sysupdate) simply ignores $httpproxy variable, it honors $http_proxy instead. Thus if you are using plan9 behind a proxy you need to set term% httpproxy=http://proxy.hostname:port # (don't forget "http://";!) term% http_proxy=proxy.hostname:port Once it works, y

Re: [9fans] telnet to port (and webfs debug)

I did already tried this, but without success, but I tried it again just to be sure, still without success. I tried to telnet the proxy with telnet tcp!host!port and it worked as expected ("GET http://www.google.com"; printed its bloated html). This limit the issue boundaries to webfs (since, as
