They are, as far as I can tell, incorrect, I have been using

FETCH_ENV= HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3128/

for a while in /etc/make.conf.  Note that the syntax is different
than 4.4, and it caused a bit of stir during our recent OS upgrades
to 4.5.

   Hi all!

   In /etc/defaults/make.conf there are sample entries
   suggesting that you could set HTTP_PROXY or FTP_PROXY
   in /etc/make.conf and have fetch et. al. honour it -
   like when installing ports.

   Unfortunately this has no effect at all on the operation of
   "make install" in some port's directory. You have to setenv
   these values for fetch to work.

   If this is on purpose, why are these sample entries in
   /etc/defaults/make.conf?

   Thanks,
