Standard Proxy: Interesting difference from FTP connections between FF and IE

eclipse79oldacct
Hello, 
this is the scenario: 


  • Web Proxy in standard mode
  • FTP added as target service in advanced proxy configuration
  • FTP proxy set as Transparent
  • IE and FF using the same proxy configuration (192.168.1.1:8080 proxy for all services, excluding local addresses).


Connecting to a password protect FTP server, FireFox ask for username and password with a popup. Internet Explorer does not request the login informations but an Astaro page appears saying "Authorization Required" (see screenshot). Obviously if you modify the FTP address inserting username and password in the url, the ftp connection is started successfully.

Did you ever experienced this behavior? Why it happens? Is it a bug? [:O]

    It seems to me that HTTP proxy has priority to FTP proxy settings

    Because the browser is pointed at the HTTP/S Proxy for FTP.

    The priority of http proxy respect to ftp proxy is visible also because if I remove ftp service from allowed target services (in http advanced settings) I see the error "service not allowed" (or something similar) in the content blocked page.

    Yes, you then would need to remove proxying for FTP in your browser settings.

    Cheers - Bob

    Yes Bob, you are right... (I will do this) but how can you explain the different behaviour between IE and FF? I set both in the same way ... [:S]
