I cannot resolve internet hostnames inside my firewall. I have an http proxy server which can handle http, https and ftp requests (e.g. ftp-over-http, which probably only supports RETR I suspect), as well as an FTP proxy server that uses the convention of specifying user@remotehost as the username to connect to Internet hosts. In other words, I do:
% ftp ny-proxy Connected to ny-proxy. 220 nyinfppxy1 FTP proxy (Version V2.1) ready. Name (ny-proxy:nbde52d): annonymous@fx.meta-comm.com 331-(----GATEWAY CONNECTED TO fx.meta-comm.com----) 331-(220 filestor Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).) 331 Password required for annonymous. Password:
Then from there things behave like regular FTP.
Oh, that's good enough. If you grab the latest 'regression.py' from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/tools/regression/xsl_repor... and provide it with the '--ftp-proxy' option, it will try the above route. A quick way to check whether it works or not without going through the whole regression cycle would be this: python regression.py upload-logs --runner=<your-runner-id> --ftp-proxy=<proxy> ^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't think Python's ftplib has any out-of-the-box support for firewalls unlike the equivalent Perl module Net::FTP which honors the environment variable FTP_FIREWALL.
It doesn't, at least it by itself; you need to bundle it with urllib2 to do the job, but if the above works, it's good enough for now.
These results are with one small patch applied to date_time to work with the Rogue Wave std::locale::facet.
Your might consider putting this into your comment file.
Done. This will be in the next zip I upload. I'm also attaching the two small patches to this message.
Applied the toolset patch. You might want to post a separate message with more explicit subject line to catch the attention of Date-Time folks.
We should really get rid of the obstacles on the way to automated runs, though. I'll look into fixing the tarball issue you've reported earlier.
Thanks. There are also some other bugs I've found with regression.py:
