I'm trying to setup tla access to the LinuxBIOS (openbios.org) archive through a proxy server that also functions as a firewall.
The proxy server is denying access when I try to do:
$ tla register-archive \ ftp://openbios.org/pub/arch/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
Can http be used instead of ftp in the above URL?
I'm using the following environment variable, defined with
$ ftp_proxy = http://<username>:<password>@<proxy-server>:<proxy-port> $ export ftp_proxy
where <username>, <password>, <proxy-server>, <proxy-port> are all replaced by literal values acceptable to the proxy server.
I've tried to use google to shed light on this issue, but haven't found anything useful.
------
I've got yum working through this proxy server using http_proxy:
$ http_proxy = http://<username>:<password>@<proxy-server>:<proxy-port> $ export http_proxy
So, I know that at least http passes through the proxy server just fine.
------
Any suggestions or comments?
Sincerely,
