The problem is that for some mysterious reason the ftp_proxy URL you are
passing is not being properly interprited as a http URL. It isn't actually
running the http downloader but trying to connect to your proxy as an ftp
proxy - which is just odd.
Do you have no_proxy set in some odd way, or have some weirdo shell or
something?
I've tried your command line with no troubles at all, including various
no_proxy permuations, so I don't know what your trouble is. Maybe you
should try some debug statements at the bottom of ftp.cc to see whats up.
