Hi Guys,
I've run into an issue with proxy and FTP. Squid is doing more than a browser would do to display a directory listing but I'm not sure why.
The FTP site has a directory structure like /top/dir1/dir2/dir3/files where dir2 is not readable. Using a browser without proxy, you can navigate to /top/dir1/dir2/dir3/ and get a listing of files in dir3 as well as download any of them. Accessing via squid
will fail and I've found through packet caps and poking around code that it does a CWD on each of the directories starting at top. It runs into dir2 where it has no permissions, receives and error and quits.
I'm sure there is a reason for recursively listing each directory but, in this case, I don't think a fail should be the end of the road. It may cause a specific possible future action unavailable. Is there a workaround? Is this something that should be submitted
as a feature request? Am I misunderstanding something?
Enlightenment is appreciated. Thanks,
-Senor
