I managed to use fetch through the proxy we have that requires a username/password. I made a typo to the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH variable (the correct value is HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:slentz:password). So yes I can use fetch instead of curl. Whatever it is if someone wants to use curl through some HTTP proxy in some scripts he will need to recompile it with some --disable-ipv6 as the configure option. Maybe the CONFIGURE_ARGS variable in the port's Makefile should be changed or some option ENABLE_IPV6 added. It will also be cool to have some examples in the man page for fetch. For instance : to download the ports or use fetch through some corporate HTTP proxy you should export the following 2 variables : HTTP_PROXY_AUTH and FTP_PROXY example : export HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:username:password export FTP_PROXY=http://myproxy.company.com:3128/ Thanks for your help, Stephane.
