Some FTP servers will tar up a directory for you if you specify /some/path/directory.tar. FTP proxy reports thhat you are accessing a non-existent file. e.g. telnet-ing to a host configured to act as a Proxy (but not a cache) telnet localhost 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost Escape character is '^]'. GET ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/archivers/bzip2.tar 404 Not Found

Not Found

The requested URL ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/archivers/bzip2.tar was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.14 Server at localhost Port 80

>How-To-Repeat: Set up a proxy server and try to download ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/archivers/bzip2.tar (it's not big) The "file" will download fine if you do not go through a proxy. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
