Hi All First posting to the list, just wanted to thank you Martin for a great tool. I hae been using it for about 2 years or so and tell everyone I can about it...
I was setting it up for a new site last week that uses a Windows proxy that requires NTLM authentication to download patches etc. Getting them to change the authentication method is, well, difficult. I notice that curl supports NTLM proxy authentication so I figure it shouldn't be too hard to port that into pca instead of, or as well as, wget. Just wondering if anyone has been down this path before? I imagine that the port would work along the lines of checking the 'wget' variable on the command line or config file, and if it matches something like /curl$/ then switching all the other wget options over to be curl options. This way it would be mostly transparent. ie if you set wgetproxy in the config file, and wget=curl, then it would use the appropriate curl switch rather than wget switch to build the curl commandline. eg with the same hostname for the proxy the generated commandline withing pca could look like this: using wget wget --execute http_proxy=prox.example.com:3128 ... using curl curl --proxy prox.example.com:3128 ... and so on Any thoughts or comments? regards, -glenn -- Glenn Satchell mailto:glenn.satch...@uniq.com.au | It's a dog eat dog Uniq Advances Pty Ltd http://www.uniq.com.au | world, and by golly, PO Box 70 Paddington NSW Australia 2021 | we better make sure tel:0409-458-580 tel:02-9380-6360 fax:02-9380-6416 | we're the dog. ------------- End Forwarded Message -------------
