It's not very well documented, but if I put the line

FETCH_ENV=	HTTP_PROXY=127.0.0.1

in /etc/make.conf, I find that fetch uses squid just fine, at least
for ports...

I think I had to paw around in the make files for a while to find this out.

   Hi !

   Is it a known issue, that fetch doesnīt work via local ftp proxy (squid) ?

   I updated the ports collection manually.
   Everything runs fine, if fetch can get something via http proto.

   Whenever something should be fetched via ftp proto, it does
   nothing at all and I get error code 999 (protocol error).

   In my rootīs .cshrc I added:

   setenv  FTP_PROXY       localhost:3128
   setenv  FTP_PASSIVE_MODE        YES
   setenv  HTTP_PROXY      localhost:3128

   In /etc/make.conf I configured:

   HTTP_PROXY=localhost:3128
   FTP_PROXY=localhost:3128
   FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=yes

   In squids logfile I see the successfull fetch attempts via http, but
   no single line, when something should be fetched via ftp.

   In the process status I see, that fetch is executed as follows
   a) for ftp (doesnīt work)
	 7137  p1  S+     0:00.01 /usr/bin/fetch -A
   ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.14.tar.gz
   b) for http (works)
	/usr/bin/fetch -A
   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/amanda/amanda-2.4.2p2.tar.gz

   Squids log tells me only something about the fetch using http proto ...
   1008090948.039  34701 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/000 560886 GET
   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/amanda/amanda-2.4.2p2.tar.gz -
   FIRST_UP_PARENT/byfwg5.bayer-ag.com -


   Is there a bug in FreeBSD 4.3īs libfetch ???
   Or did I mis-spell a configuration variable ???
   Setting FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in .cshrc and /etc/make.conf was only a hack,
   wihout it didnīt work as well ...

   Any comments ???

   Thanks
