curl newbie - problems accessing web addresses through Proxy
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 10:21:08 -0500
I apologise in advance if I have taken the incorrect route to raise a query
on the use of curl.
I have become acquainted with curl for the first time today.
My immediate concern is to use curl as part of a monitoring solution. We
use BMC Patrol but as yet BMC don't have any direct Website up/down type
checks available.
When trying to connect to any external websites, I need to use a proxy. I
have included the proxy details in the command below. I subsequently add in
my password.
The following is the reponse I get. I was unable to find a reason for the
"parameter is incorrect" error on the curl.haxx.se website and so that's why
Ive found myself writing this mail.
I am running this command off a command prompt on a WIN2k system.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards
Niall Furlong
