I cannot resolve internet hostnames inside my firewall.  I have an
http proxy server which can handle http, https and ftp requests
(e.g. ftp-over-http, which probably only supports RETR I suspect), as
well as an FTP proxy server that uses the convention of specifying
user_at_remotehost as the username to
connect to Internet hosts.  In other words, I do:

% ftp ny-proxy 
Connected to ny-proxy.
220 nyinfppxy1 FTP proxy (Version V2.1) ready.
Name (ny-proxy:nbde52d): annonymous_at_[hidden]
331-(----GATEWAY CONNECTED TO fx.meta-comm.com----)
331-(220 filestor Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).)
331 Password required for annonymous.
Password:

Then from there things behave like regular FTP.  I don't think
Python's ftplib has any out-of-the-box support for firewalls unlike
the equivalent Perl module Net::FTP which honors the environment
variable FTP_FIREWALL.

Done.  This will be in the next zip I upload.  I'm also attaching the two
small patches to this message.

Thanks.  There are also some other bugs I've found with regression.py:

1. Using the --mail argument crashes the script:

% python ./regression.py --runner CalebEpstein --local boost_1_32_0
--toolsets sunpro --bjam-options "-j8" --mail caleb.epstein_at_[hidden]
--proxy $http_proxy
# Sending start notification to "caleb.epstein_at_[hidden]"
# Sending report to "caleb.epstein_at_[hidden]"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./regression.py", line 765, in ?
    commands[ command ]( **accept_args( args ) )
  File "./regression.py", line 625, in regression
    msg = regression_log + [ '' ] + apply( traceback.format_exception,
sys.exc_info() )
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'list' objects

2. The --local argument is not idempotent.  If this points to a
directory, it will be renamed to "boost", so a later run with the same
arguments will fail.

3. The --local argument expects to be given a name like
<tag>.<something> and takes the first portion before the . as a tag. 
If the name points to a directory like boost_1_32_0 the tag name is
taken as this name with the last character dropped (e.g.
"boost_1_32_").

4. Unless --comment is supplied, an existing comment.html file will be
overwritten.  I found this one out the hard way!

    global comment_path
    if comment is None:
        log( 'Comment file "%s" not found; creating default comment.' % comment_
path )
        f = open( comment_path, 'w' )
        f.write( '<p>Tests are run on %s platform.</p>' % string.capitalize( sys
.platform ) )
        f.close()
    else: 
        comment_path = os.path.join( regression_root, comment )
