If you remove the trailing slash from your http_proxy variable, it will work. http_proxy is a "defacto" standard and as such there's no clear consensus on whether the trailing slash should be permitted or not. Some software accepts it, other doesn't. I don't think the '/' is "valid" since in URI / RFC3986 terms, the proxy is a scheme and an authority but not a path. It would not be too much work for debgtd to ignore the trailing slash if present. Before I do this, I'm going to do a bit of research into the origins of the environment variable and see what software chokes on the trailing slash and what doesn't. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
