Hi All,

I'm trying to get rsync to proxy through an apache httpd server to an rsync server.

On the proxy, which has a direct connection to the internet, I've stopped the firewall and unset HTTP_PROXY and RSYNC_PROXY. I've configured the httpd to allow proxy requests as follows:

<IfModule mod_proxy.c># ProxyRequests On

<Proxy *> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from .mydomain.ie </Proxy>

# # Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers. # ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers) # Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block # ProxyVia On

AllowCONNECT 443 563 873

i've tested rsync going direct to the rsync server and it works.

On the client, which is on a private network, I've stopped the firewall and I've set

RSYNC_PROXY=http://my-proxy-server.ie:80 HTTP_PROXY=http://my-proxy-server.ie:80

When I try to rsync to the external rsync server I get the following error.

rsync: getaddrinfo: http //oldtraf: Servname not supported for ai_socktype rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(94)

Any ideas what I'm missing
