Interestingly, > a command line 'fetch' to the http://... URL seems to work fine. bsd.port.mk specifies FETCH_CMD as "/usr/bin/fetch -ARr". The -A flag says to not follow redirects. However, it only does so on a 302 request according to the manual. You might get some luck by issuing a 301 permanent redirect instead. But updating the ports is probably a good idea anyway. -Dom
