Thanks so much for your replies here, Alex. >> If you must use FileZilla, The FTP client software, FileZilla / Cyberduck / etc, isn't the issue. The issue is sending traffic to an ICAP server.
>> Our FTP gateway project adds that functionality to Squid. I'm very glad to hear about this project; I'd missed reading about it. This looks like just what I need. You said it's not yet ready for production use. Does the May 2013 ETA mean ETA of beta-quality code or ETA of production-ready code? Thanks!

I forgot to mention that even if you succeed with making CONNECT work, it will not help you with ICAP inspections because Squid will only send CONNECT request to your ICAP server and not the FTP traffic that happens inside the HTTP CONNECT tunnel. If you must use FileZilla, and FileZilla does not support sending HTTP requests with ftp://urls to HTTP proxies (instead of using CONNECT tunnels with raw FTP inside), then you must use an FTP proxy that supports ICAP, not an HTTP proxy. Our FTP gateway project adds that functionality to Squid. It is not ready for production use, but simple FTP transactions are supported and code is available: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/FtpGateway HTH, Alex.
