Trying to retrieve files/packages while the installation procedure with
netboot or floppyboot. The files should be retrieved over an ISA Proxy
(Microsoft)
where it is necessery to authenticate before accessing the internet.
Before I choose the mirror for the debian-archive the installation
procedure prompts for the HTTP-Proxy. My input is as follows:
http://ms-domain\\domainuser:password@192.168.0.1:8080
After choosing stable|testing|unstable it jumps back to the installation
menu without retrieving any file. It seems the script in the background
doesn't handle the authentication credentials for the proxy correctly.
To be sure there is no network problem I tested it with five different
network cards (3 x 21143, 1 3C905 and 1 Intel Etherpro 100).
I tried also to set the environment
like export
http_proxy=http://ms-domain\\domainuser:password@192.168.0.1:8080
but without success.
Does anybody knows a workaround? Maybe which script I have to modify
manually?
I would be grateful if someone have any ideas how to solve it. Because I am
working on this issue for four weeks now and so I don't think it will
be fixed very soon.
Best regards,
Mark Spoon
