When I try to download anything, say, a Zip file using Mosaic, and I'm
connected through my company's proxy server, the download doesn't work. The
status bar says "Making FTP connection to xxxxxx.si.com:80." and there it
sits. HTTP proxies work just fine.
Our proxy server requires a username/password to be entered. George, you
may recall implementing prompted proxy access for me.

Has any one ever used Mosaic to ftp thru a proxy server? A very quick
look at the code tells me that there is no support for it (I could be
wrong because the LIBWWW2 library is some of the most convoluted code
I've ever had to deal with). I do not have access to a proxy server
to use for testing.
If it were a simple matter of making the same types of changes as
were needed to add username/password support to the http proxy code,
I might me able to get it added by summer's end, however implementing
full ftp proxy support from scratch is not going to happen in the
foreseeable future (unless someone else does it). If Lynx had ftp
proxy support I could borrow its code, but Lynx doesn't appear to
support it either.

Works for me. I can use ftp://... URLs in lynx through the same proxy
server.

I access the internet through a proxy server with Mosaic 3.0
on a VAXstation 4000/60 under OpenVMS V7.1 and the CMU
TCP/IP package. The setup does not require a username &
password. I had no problem downloading the new Mosaic 3.6
from George Cook's ftp site at WVU.

The problem is that there is zero indication of proxy support in
the Lynx and Mosaic ftp modules, which means that the support is
hidden somewhere else. Because the LIBWWW2 library does routine
calls based on the contents of runtime variables, it is almost
impossible to tell what the code is doing by looking at the sources
(even with three monitors each having multiple Decterm editing
sessions). I frequently have to use the debugger in order to see
what the code does (won't work in this case since I don't have
a proxy server).
It may be some time before I get a chance to trace the code manually.
I just spent the entire week so far at home babysitting a contractor who
did as much damage as humanly possible to my properly while repairing
a leak in my natural gas service line. If the gas company doesn't
fail to show up today (like they did yesterday), I may have gas (and
hot water) again for the first time since last Friday. Then the
damage repairs start (with the tearing up of even more concrete).
It wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that the leak probably
wasn't even big enough to keep a gas stove pilot light lit.
