I am attempting to set the http_proxy environmental variable to a
SOCKS 5 proxy server that is really an SSH tunnel to a server outside
the network. When I execute the fetch command it is failing with this
error message;
bc007776# fetch -v ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz
looking up 127.0.0.1
connecting to 127.0.0.1:8080
requesting ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz
fetch: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz: Unknown error: 0
Is this supported?
I don't think so, and if it were, I doubt it would be supported through
though the http_proxy variable.
Do you not have access to an external http_proxy via the ssh tunnel?
That's the way this kind of thing normally works. Failing that, if this
is for ports building, you might want to look into using curl instead
of fetch in your FETCH_CMD as it appears to support SOCKS 5.
