The following reply was made to PR bin/6371; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Fenner <fenner@parc.xerox.com> To: cracauer@cons.org, freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/6371: fetch(1) uses HTTP_PROXY for ftp requests when FTP_PROXY undefined Date: Thu, 23 Apr 1998 11:57:48 PDT Setting FTP_PROXY to host:port gives you fetch's traditional behavior of contacting an FTP proxy to fetch the file. Setting FTP_PROXY to "" goes directly no matter what. Unsetting FTP_PROXY uses HTTP_PROXY if it's set or goes directly if not. I share Dave's amazement that there's so much brouhaha over this straightforward change.
