Re: [squid-users] accessing ftp server with non anonymous account

Well, I'm using java version "1.4.1_01". Acording to
the Url
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4720715.html

using URL.openConnection() to fetch an FTP URL that
includes
user and password does not work through a proxy.

This is only fixed in 1.4.2, so for now, it won't work.

Just in case anyone runs into this.

Thank you for all your replies. I appreciate it!!
