I just bet ange-ftp doesn't make use of such thing, despite my env variable of ftp_proxy=http://localhost:8080/ . Ok, if it can be made to make use of it, please help folks to find out about it by having the word proxy in the manual somewhere, and apropos. We do find the word proxy in the w3 stuff. We do find the word proxy deep in ange-ftp.el, but as it is not even in any docstings, an average user won't find it. Also what is mentioned baffles one on how it relates to ftp_proxy=http://localhost as used by WWWOFFLE. Anyway, while you are there making "proxy" more findable, do clean up the ange-ftp-lovers-request%anorman.hpl.hp.com@hplb.hpl.hp.com jazz. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
