Re: Difference between fetch(1) and firefox http-access
Olivier, Running CURRENT (FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #2 r275512: Fri Dec 5 16:00:34 CET 2014 amd64), I ran into some kind of obscurity I can not fathom. Updating ports fails since a couple of days by now (I do updates on a daily basis). fetch isn't capable of reaching any(!) server it tries to download sourcecode tarballs from (neither via ports ftp, http, https). When manually copied the sources of the tarball to Firefox' URL requester, I can luckily download the sources to whatever destination I like and I have to copy them to the /usr/ports/distfiles[/blabla] destination manually. Did you try to fetch the source manually: fetch URL... Just to confirm/infirm the problem with fetch. Do you have some HTTP_PROXY env variable set? Olivier As I understood fetch it establishes a simple ftp, http or https connection, as Firefox does. But it seems that something is going terribly wrong. It would be nice if someone could push me towards a hint or something to solve the problem. I hope it's not a serious bug but a simple error in the configuration.

Do you have some HTTP_PROXY env variable set? That was the hint of the hints. I swapped from a secured environment back to a more open and forgot to reset/unset the http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables :-( I wasn't aware of the fact that I had set them. So, the problem is bewtween my eyes ... Sorry for the noise, many thanks for the quick solution ...

For future reference, cross-posting to multiple mailing lists is widely considered to be bad netiquette (unless it's absolutely essential). If you don't get a quick answer, threads can descend into chaos because not everyone will be subscribed to all the lists. Even if no broken threads are created, some people will still find it annoying to have a second unread version of the same thread. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
