FYI: The patchfile should be named "patch-http.c.diff". "port
lint" has some other recommendations for this portfile as well:
Is there any kind of consensus for making BSD-style patch naming
illegal in Portfiles ?
By "BSD-style patch naming" I assume you mean omitting ".diff" from
the end of the name?
I did bring this up before; here is the thread:

003139.html
In follow-ups, nox and jmpp agreed that using ".diff" at the end of
the filename is a good idea. Therefore, "port lint" recommends this.
The new guide has not yet been updated recommend using ".diff" at the
end of patchfile names, and the examples there still don't. The guide
should be updated.
