Re: [or-cvs] Update OpenBSD via tor?



Hi Christian,
Thanks for answering, this a real headache for my now.

Yes ftp honors env, but tor doesn't allows ftp, I think

Tryed:
<<<
$ export ftp_proxy=ftp://127.0.0.1:9050
$ ftp ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Requesting ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README (via ftp://127.0.0.1:9050)
ftp: Error retrieving file: 501 Tor is not an HTTP Proxy
<<<
$ export ftp_proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
$ ftp ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README
ftp: Malformed proxy URL: ftp.localhost:9050
>>>>
$ export ftp_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118
$ ftp ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Requesting ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README (via http://127.0.0.1:8118)
ftp: Error retrieving file: 400 Invalid request received from client
