The default FETCH_ARGS include -A which makes fetch fail on redirects; this is presumably because some sites redirect rather than return 404 when a file is not found. In cases when redirect needs to be followed, you need to override FETCH_ARGS in the port's Makefile. See the attached patch (I hope it'll get through the list). I can submit a PR, or some brave committer can apply it right away... --------------040608040204040703010500 Content-Type: text/plain; name="vrml2pov.diff.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vrml2pov.diff.txt" LS0tIE1ha2VmaWxlLm9yaWcJMjAxMi0wMi0wOCAxMzoxODoyMi4wMDAwMDAwMDAgKzAyMDAK KysrIE1ha2VmaWxlCTIwMTItMDItMDggMTM6MTg6NDcuMDAwMDAwMDAwICswMjAwCkBAIC0x NywxMyArMTcsMTAgQEAKIAogUkVTVFJJQ1RFRD0JUmVkaXN0cmlidXRpb24gaXMgbm90IGFs bG93ZWQKIAotQlJPS0VOPQkJdW5mZXRjaGFibGUKLURFUFJFQ0FURUQ9CQkiJHtCUk9LRU59 IgotRVhQSVJBVElPTl9EQVRFPQkyMDEyLTAzLTIxCi0KIFVTRV9aSVA9CXllcwogVVNFX0dN QUtFPQl5ZXMKIE1BS0VGSUxFPQltYWtlZmlsZQorRkVUQ0hfQVJHUz0JLUZwcgogCiBQTElT VF9GSUxFUz0JYmluL3ZybWwycG92CiBOT19XUktTVUJESVI9CXllcwo= --------------040608040204040703010500--
