[jira] [Commented] (NET-422) FTP using HTTP proxy not working

["Tomas Mysik (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13501288#comment-13501288 ] 

Tomas Mysik commented on NET-422:
---------------------------------

Could anyone please explain me the following error which happens to us [1]? It happens in NetBeans if one sets proxy for all protocols; if one sets only HTTP proxy, everything works. Feel free to update the NetBeans issue as well, if you want to. Thanks a lot in advance for any comment.

INFO [org.netbeans.modules.php.project.connections.ftp.FtpClient]: Exception while connecting

> I know that FTPHTTPClient is experimental, but - I have discovered 2 bugs in it:
> - response from proxy is taken only if username and password are set
> - username and response are not correctly provided to Base64.encode() method
> I will attach a patch with proposed fix, feel free to apply it if you think it's correct.
> One more note: I'm not expert in this area so sorry if this question is nonsense but - shouldn't it be possible to connect to the encrypted FTP over HTTP proxy as well? Or am I completely wrong and this can't be ever possible.
> Thanks.
