There seems to be a mismatch between the syntax in the man-page of fetch, and
the actual syntax accepted by libfetch.

The problem is related to the handling of proxies.

according to the man page, assuming that my proxy is a squid running on
default port, the correct syntax would be:


HTTP_PROXY=proxy.my.net

and this would automtically use http for protocol to proxy, port 3128, and
send ftp-requests through the http-proxy.

However, I have discovered that the only way to achieve this, is to set the
following:

FTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.net:3128
HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.net:3128

I believe this to be a documentation bug, and not a library fault.
