Please mention how one can or cannot have ange-ftp use this. (getenv "ftp_proxy") for me gives "http://localhost:8080/", i.e. wwwoffle. So I tried things like (setq ange-ftp-smart-gateway (getenv "ftp_proxy")), even (setq ange-ftp-smart-gateway "localhost") (setq ange-ftp-smart-gateway-port "8080") but like sorry, no go. Why not "modernize" ange-ftp to use the ftp_proxy env variable if it finds it non empty? e.g. would wget or lynx be so oblivious? No. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
