>Description:

Somewhere between 4.4-RELEASE and 5.0-RELEASE libfetch stopped working with
my HTTP proxy server(listing it using the HTTP_PROXY variable).

Any file that isn't of a trivial length (over 4k?) will get to 99%
completed and hang. ps shows that fetch is waiting in sbwait, but press
SIGINFO doesn't respond with it's normal statistics until you ^C fetch. When
you do ^C it, fetch shows it has only a small number of bytes left in the
download (usually less than 1000).

The HTTP Proxy server in question is the windows HTTP proxy that Hughes uses
for their 2-way DirectWay satellite system. (They expose a HTTP port on the
LAN side of a windows host that other systems on your LAN can use for HTTP
requests through the satellite connection)


>How-To-Repeat:

I can repeat it at will, but I'm guessing others are going to have a tough
time with this. I'm willing to try anything anyone suggests, or give anyone
here ssh access to experiment on their own.
