>Description:
Hi. I noticed a small bug in the ftp client with the "no_proxy" env var handling that causes a "ftp in free(): warning: modified (chunk-) pointer." message. But no real problems apart from a memory leak.
>How-To-Repeat:
Only happens if there are more than one field in no_proxy and that the matched one ain't the last field.
