Description of problem: When using ncat to connect through a HTTP proxy a debug message is displayed on screen. This breaks automated use of ncat. $ /usr/bin/ncat --proxy-type http --proxy proxy.example.com:3128 www.example.com 443 NCAT DEBUG: Proxy returned status code 200. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nmap-5.51-2.el6.i686 How reproducible: Use ncat to connect through a HTTP proxy. Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above 2. 3. Actual results: Debug message displayed. Expected results: No message displayed unless verbose output has been requested. Additional info: Fedora 19 had same bug (ticket 994376). If you ask why I'm using "ncat" instead of "nc", that's because "nc" is even more broken for use of HTTP proxy: $ nc -X connect -x www.example.com:3128 www.example.com 443 nc: Proxy error: "HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established"
