I'll look at hacking FTP-via-HTTP into rpm-4.4.7 this weekend. It
will
probably take me a weekend or two to get implemented however.
Lord knows the TIS proxy support in rpm is ancient, from 1997 irrc.
Hey, _THAT_ would be really phantastic as this is a really long
standing
problem many people were faced with. This way once we upgrade to RPM
4.4.7 our OpenPKG community can leverage from this new feature, too.
Many thanks for all your great efforts on RPM, Jeff.
Hehe, been on my todo list since 1999. I'm such a lazy schmuck, sigh.
What always stops is the apache config (if any) to set-up a FTP (or
other) proxy (blush).
I'm usually on a single devel machine with no access or control (or
knowledge) of server config.
Anything special I have to do with apache?
BTW, example server configgery will get a socks (or any other proxy)
implemented in
rpm in a flash.
