We don't officially support FTP installs through proxy servers, so that's probably where the problem comes in. I would recommend downloading the ISOs and doing either a cdrom or a hard drive install. FTP installs without a proxy server works fine, though. Given that there is nothing special used by the ftp proxy other than a special username then you do not actually have to have any special code to support an ftp proxy. The bug indicates a problem with either the non-anonymous ftp mechanism. Non-anonymous FTP installs work for me without a proxy of any kind. I can't help but feel that the proxy is somehow causing this problem. Do you think the problem could be the '@' in the username? ftp://ftp@ftp.city-fan.org:%64%61%76%65@proxy/pub/....... Do you think that something is parsing this as user: ftp.org password: dave host: proxy and something else is parsing it as: user: ftp password: ? host: ftp.city-fan.org:%64%61%76%65@proxy in which it would give the unknown host error. Just an idea, Dave I don't know...could be. I'm going to close this bug as "wontfix". If you see this behavior without having to go through a proxy server, please reopen this bug report. Thanks for your report. |
