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]

    I don't know enough about FF, but, in the IE 'LAN Settings', you can press the 'Advanced' button and select the precise services that are proxied to which Ports/IPs.

    Cheers - Bob

    The strangeness is exactly this [[:)]] I set up the same proxy options for all services (http, https, ftp) in both browsers [[:)]]

    So the expected behavior should be the IE one?
