Any idea why squid closes the connection? This is a wget ftp proxy connection
to a host. I would assume that the connection would only close if wget (or
any ftp clients) sends a close command or if the host terminates the
connection. Thanks for the info. Plus, I don't think wget is capable of
forwarding a user defined hearder... I'll take a look.
