ftp://... and ProxyRemote

[Peter Van Biesen <pe...@vlafo.be>]

Hello,

I have a proxychain set up of two 2.0.39's, the first one on the
intranet and the second one in the DMZ. To forward the requests, I use
the ProxyRemote directive. However, I don't seem to get ftp://... URL's
working. I looked in the source and, as I see it, the forwarding code is
simply not present, or am I mistaken ?

Anyway, can anybody confirm this ? Does anybody know if this code is
being/has been written ( the HEAD revision still doesn't implement this
... )?

Thanx !

Peter.

Found the problem : consider following patch :

*** proxy_http.c        Fri Jun 14 19:14:57 2002
--- proxy_http_new.c    Thu Aug  8 11:15:36 2002

*** 1032,1038 ****
          }
          is_ssl = 1;
      }
!     else if (strncasecmp(url, "http:", 5)) {
          ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_DEBUG, 0, r->server,
                       "proxy: HTTP: declining URL %s", url);
          return DECLINED; /* only interested in HTTP */
--- 1032,1038 ----
          }
          is_ssl = 1;
      }
!     else if (!(strncasecmp(url, "http:", 5)==0 || (strncasecmp(url,
"ftp:", 4)==0 && proxyname))) {
          ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_DEBUG, 0, r->server,
                       "proxy: HTTP: declining URL %s", url);
          return DECLINED; /* only interested in HTTP */

proxy_ftp doesn't do the forwarding because it expects proxy_http to
catch it. So, with this patch, proxy_http will handle the request if it
is an ftp request and a proxyname is known. Is this a good solution ? It
works for me, anyhow ...
