RE: [pear-webmaster] Unable to Download Packages

Hi, I am in Dubai, UAE. Only one ISP for the whole country and, of course, one odd proxy for filtering the traffic… well I guess that could be it. Anyway, I manually modified the extensions of the files in the links that I need to download – for no relevant reason I entered .tar instead of ..tgz (see below) and it worked! http://download.pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP-1.2.10.tgz http://download.pear.php.net/package/Net_SMTP-1.2.10.tar Thanks, Julien Mrad Amricon _____ From: Helgi Þormar Þorbjörnsson [mailto:helgith@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 10:55 PM To: Julien Mrad Cc: pear-webmaster@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [pear-webmaster] Unable to Download Packages Are you behind some odd proxy ? This works on all computers I've tested, even some that are behind a company proxy. - Helgi On 8/21/07, Julien Mrad <jmrad@amricon.com> wrote: Hello, I've been trying to download PEAR packages with no success.
