Ah.

I am using FTP because FETCH often has trouble going through proxies. Here,
FTP is allowed out but web traffic must go through a proxy for audit. FETCH
tries to FTP through the proxy because the HTTP_PROXY variable is set.
Admittedly, I haven't tried FETCH in over a month.

The proxy is Squid 2.3.
