Summary: sysinstall's mediaSetHTTP does not work under local nameserver

Description haruhiko.nishida 2000-03-14 09:40:01 UTC 
install from FTP server through http proxy faied if the local nameserver could not resolve the ftp server.

Inside firewall, there is no need to resolve (outer world's) ftp server's address. It will be done by proxy server.

Fix: 

In media.c, mediaSetHTTP calls mediaSetFTP, and mediaSetFTP allways calls gethostbyname for ftp server. Don't execute gethostbyname when mediaSetFTP was called from mediaSetHTTP.
How-To-Repeat: use local nameserver which does not know ftp server's address, and try install.

I'll take a look at this along with some other minor sysinstall bugs that I've run into.
