--f46d043c7df854d37b04cf75568c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi all, I was in trouble for a while because I was using FreeBSD behind an http proxy (a palo alto for what it means) and the portsnap command was unable to handle updates reporting always "file does not exist". After digging I found that the problem was in the phttpget command used internally from portsnap: phttpget is not able to handle an http_proxy variable in the form of http://user:password@proxy:port since the first colon is understood as a port separator and therefore phttpget tries to connect to the host "user" on port "password@proxy:port". Since I did not found much documentation about how to solve the problem, and nobody on the forum was able to point me in any direction (see http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28849) I wrote a simple patch to modify portsnap to use wget instead of phttpget. Of course, this means you have to install wget first, and also the laminating of the files to download has slightly changed within portsnap, but I'm using it from several days and updates now and it seems to work well. Now the question is: should this patch, or better the idea of using wget or another alike substitute to phttpget, be integrated into the system? I've tested it on FreeBSD-9-STABLE.
