            Bug ID: 291311
           Summary: Changed behavior for pkg using proxy
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: peter@pean.org

It seems pkg have changed behavior when it comes to proxy settnings recently. I
updated to pkg-2.4.2 and it changed. 

Today I also realized that pkg-static and pkg-2.4.2 on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE
require different ENV variables to work with a http proxy. 

pkg-static want something like HTTP_PROXY_AUTH: "basic:*:user:pass" and
pkg-2.4.2 want HTTP_PROXY_AUTH: "buser:pass".

This causes problems when upgrading systems for example because you may need to
use first pkg-static to bootstrap pkg, and then continue with pkg.
