Re: [9fans] telnet to port (and webfs debug)

[Giacomo Tesio <giacomo@tesio.it>]

I did already tried this, but without success, but I tried it again
just to be sure, still without success.

I tried to telnet the proxy with telnet tcp!host!port and it worked as
expected ("GET http://www.google.com" printed its bloated html).

This limit the issue boundaries to webfs (since, as far as I can see,
hget is "just" a wrapper of it), since both squid and the tcp stack
proved to work properly.


The problem is, I can't figure out how to debug webfs. Any tip?

Note that it worked once, a few days ago, when I managed to sysupdate
(setting http_proxy.host in /usr/glenda/.hgrc).
