Thanks for the explaination. Now, since I'm behind a proxy that
requires basic authentication, how can I handle the two different
programs? fetch accepts something like
http_proxy = "http://user:pass@proxy:port"
while phttpget seems to me requires:
http_proxy = "http://proxy:port"
http_proxy_auth = "basic:::user:pass"

Thanks,
Luca
