Yech, sorry. What I meant to say was that portsnap didn't play nicely
with proxies *requiring authentication*. The patches should address
that, though I haven't tried them personally.
The way to specify auth information should be:
HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:<user>:<pwd>
(from man 3 fetch).
Thanks,
Marty
