>Description:
phhtpget won't interpret an HTTP_PROXY env var that includes auth information
(which';fetch' needs) correctly.

trying to use HTTP_PROXY_AUTH instead doesn't work at all with fetch.

>How-To-Repeat:
so with
HTTP_PROXY=http://user:password@proxy.name.com:3128
phttpget (as used by FreeBSD7.0 freebsd-update) will return stuff 
like
