Hmm, in the past I got problems with curl ftp only, http_proxy works well, but it is necessary to use FTP_PROXY for the ftp proxy. But we use proxys for ftp and http and we use two systems, also it is necessary to use one for ftp and the other for http. Sorry no idea what's going wrong, ... Bye, Lutz p.s. I use 10.4.8 today.
