[solved] wget works... Pacman dosn't...

First of all, I have read a plethora of related posts and have yet to find a working solution.

Proxy is a Microsoft ISA server, ntlmaps is a possible solution but without Python installed I am unable to use it.

/etc/pacman.conf

# Added Line
XferCommand = wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

/etc/wgetrc

# Added Lines
http_proxy = http://isaserv:80/
ftp_proxy = http://isaserv:80/

proxy_user=userid@domain
proxy_password=*******

wget works but pacman dosn't.... any ideas?

No change...

...hmm, after typing this up I decided do a search on the actual error pacman chocked up!

  Yep proxy settings were fine.  It was the mirrorlist issue as stated in  this post.

/sigh, I'm used used to the proxy setttings being such a pain I was overlooking the obvious... sorry about that.

Issue resolved.

Re: [solved] wget works... Pacman dosn't...

I am having this issue but the difference is that I am getting a 407 error, which means that I have to use ntlmaps..

Tomorrow I hope to install Arch on my work machine, wish me luck

(for the interested people I will write a tutorial about how to installing through a crappy isa server proxy).

Cheers
