I have no way around this and I imagine a number of people are in the same shape. If I try a port build, like www/apache13-php3, I can't fetch the patches from an http site - this presumably happens for all http sites. I can get around the problem by having squid use the proxy. Presumably the Traffic-Server modifies the traffic is some manner that 'fetch' doesn't like, but it should be an easy fix - I could step through the fetch attempt if somebody could give me some help building a a debuggable fetch. BTW - I have seen some discussion of other problems with Traffic-server, including some company threatening to sue because it broke their commerce system. Our HTTP guys at work noticed that pages were not being updated as they should be, as well. >How-To-Repeat: Try to use fetch from an ISP which forces proxying via Inktomi Traffic-server. >Fix: (hopefully) minor code changes to fetch? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
