[users@httpd] FTP authorisation requests through v1.3.27 Proxy

[James Canfer <ja...@ASTADEV.com>]

I've just moved to Apache 1.3.27 (win32) as a web cache, running on a
Win2k Server.  Basic HTTP caching works fine and accessing FTP sites
that don't require authentication works fine.

 

When I try to access an FTP site that requires a logon however, the
following occurs:

 

If I use MS IE as the ftp client I get an error 401 authorization
required screen;

 

If I use an FTP client I get the error HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden error
after it attaches to the Apache Proxy;

 

The Apache logs have nothing in them regarding these connection errors.

 

Apache allows connections from both subnets on my network and works fine
for FTP access that doesn't need authorization.  I can access the sites
fine going straight out through the Firewall, but there is obviously
something odd about my config - proxy section below;

 

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>

    ProxyRequests On

    AllowCONNECT 21 443

 

    <Directory proxy:*>

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 192.0.3 192.0.2

    </Directory>

 

   ProxyVia Off

 

    CacheRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/proxy"

    CacheSize 1000000

    CacheGcInterval 4

    CacheMaxExpire 24

    CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1

    CacheDefaultExpire 1

    NoCache www.astadev.com www.astaus.com www.asta.co.uk

 

</IfModule>

 

Any help would be gratefully received as half an hour looking through
Usenet hasn't brought any enlightenment.

 

Thanks
