Hi All,
 
cURL is wonderful ... and I am new to it. But using a very old cURL
7.8.1 (reasons best known to those who making me use it)
 
There few confusions lately in way I understand it and any help which
clears it for me is Higly appreciated.
 
Issue: I use cURL to download files via a Proxy server. I read that
default mode of operation for cURL to download file is passive. but the
below logs creats confusion for me.
 
cURL commands in script:
 
curl -m timeout -s -S -U user:pass -x <IP of proxy> <URL of file>
 
the network connections were like below:
 
On My machine which connects to Proxy server:
 
TCP: IPv4
   Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q
State
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ------ ----- ------
-------
 IP.37625 IP.80 17138 0 24820 0
ESTABLISHED

 
On proxy server:
 
  TCP IP:1972 IP:21 ESTABLISHED
 TCP IP:1973 IP:20 ESTABLISHED

The above indicates that proxy server is doing a Active FTP.
 
Can someone help me out with how to carry out Active and Passive FTPs
with cURL over a proxy. And also will method differ if proxy is not
used.
 
Thanks,
K
