This should be on the man page... I just checked it and fetch really uses HTTP_PROXY if FTP_PROXY is not set. HTTP_PROXY and http_proxy use different formats: `http://host:port/' is an invalid HTTP_PROXY. It's very difficult to infer the fact you mention from the man page. And anyway, the procedure for building ports behind a firewall should probably be at least documented if not made more robust by setting FETCH_CMD to `ftp' if http_proxy and ftp_proxy are set. -- stanislav shalunov@lynxhub.att.com | 732-576-3252 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
