As it is behind a corporate proxy, I had to set HTTP_PROXY in environment and it began to run fine. But no way to get pkg to work correctly. I installed it from ports, still same issue : root@FriBi:~ # pkg update -f Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... pkg: repository meta /var/db/pkg/FreeBSD.meta has wrong version or wrong format Fetching meta.txz: 0% pkg: No signature found pkg: repository FreeBSD has no meta file, using default settings Fetching packagesite.txz: 0% pkg: No signature found pkg: Unable to update repository FreeBSD root@FriBi:~ # I was finally able to by-pass the proxy ... and it immediately runned fine ... So I tried to analyze the HTTP dialog. The corporate proxy always sends its responses with Transfer-Encoding: chunked which I suspected to be the cause. I could even confirm it by using a minimal Python proxy that : get the response from the corporate proxy with readall() buffering the whole file send it back with a ContentLength header to its client (here pkg) and then again it worked (I could do pkg install xorg ...) Steps to reproduce : - use the attached python prog as a proxy with the -C flag to make it chunk its responses - configure the pkg system to use that proxy - try to use pkg update -f Workaround : - use the attached python prog as a proxy with the -c flag to make it un-chunk its responses BEWARE : the attached Python file is not thoroughly tested and should not be used except to confirm the bug or as a last hope workaround -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
