the network in my college is set up like a very paranoid network .. where theres 6 separated networks that couldnt connect to each other , and 1 central network that become the center of all 7 networks. theres a proxy farm in the central network that allows connection between the 6 networks , however, it have a crazy limitation. port 80 POST/GET with 2MB size limit and port 443 TCP/CONNECT .. and no other protocols allowed .. this limitation also applies to normal internet connection.. I managed to get around that and mirrored Fedora's repository locally for others who dont know how to sneak through the network.
I had a very similar set-up in my university too. We did not have the 2MB size limit though. :-) Cheers, Debarshi -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
