      Name: nt126004 Date: 07/25/2002


      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.4.0_01"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)


      FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : glibc 2.1.3, kernel 2.2.19,
      Linux Mandrake 7.1


      ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS : glibc 2.2.4, kernel 2.4.9,
      Red Hat Linux 7.2



      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      Tested with Squid 2.4.STABLE7

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Using URL.openConnection() to fetch an FTP URL that includes
      user and password does not work through a proxy.

      For example, if I attempt to fetch
      "ftp://lrquinn:###@###.###" through the
      Squid HTTP proxy cache from Java, I receive a 403 response
      and an error page that indicates that Squid tried to log in
      anonymously. In my Squid access_log, the URL is recorded as
      "ftp://fitch.math.uwaterloo.ca". However, if I use Mozilla
      1.0 to request
      "ftp://lrquinn:###@###.###" through
      Squid, it works and the URL in the access_log is
      "ftp://###@###.###".

      Thus it appears that Java omits the user and password when
      doing FTP through a proxy.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Request, using Java,
      ftp://lrquinn:###@###.### through a
      Squid proxy.
      2. Note that Squid's access_log records the request as
      ftp://fitch.math.uwaterloo.ca, whereas the same request
      through a browser such as Mozilla 1.0 would result in the
      request being logged as ftp://###@###.###.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      I expected to see Squid's access_log record the URL as
      ftp://###@###.### and return content
      indicating an incorrect password. Instead, Squid records the
      URL as ftp://fitch.math.uwaterloo.ca and returns content
      indicating that the anonymous login failed.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

                  // an exception.

                          // Print out the response. I expect the response to say
                          // incorrect password, but it actually says that the user
                          // "anonymous" was rejected. Looking in the proxy's log, I
                          // see that the user "lrquinn" is missing from the logged
                          // URL, suggesting that Java excluded the user and password
                          // when making the request.
                          for (;;) {
                              int ch = is.read();
                              if (ch == -1) break;

                              System.out.print((char)ch);
                          }
                      } catch (IOException ignore) {
                      }
                  }

              } finally {
                  if (is != null) {
                      try {
                          is.close();
                      } catch (IOException ignore) {
                      }
                  }
              }
