For convenience, you can set those variables from within /etc/make.conf: FETCH_ENV= FTP_PROXY=http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128/ \ HTTP_PROXY=http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128/ You can also use the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH variable where: HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:3128/ HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:username:password is equivalent to the previous HTTP_PROXY setting. In theory that can let you use other HTTP authorization schemes than basic auth, except that support for those other schemes has not yet been added to libfetch.

RE: FTP Proxies and Ports
Remko, I really appreciate the suggestion. I gave it a go, and it doesn't seem to work with my style of proxy. I think I'll consult with our security folks here and see what they have to say. -Original Message- From: Remko Lodder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 6:08 PM To: Bigelow, Andrea L.

FTP Proxies and Ports
Hello,
I've thus far been unsuccessful with $FTP_PROXY and $HTTP_PROXY in getting
fetch to honor my company's FTP proxy. The easiest way to use the proxy is a
URL format: ftp://username:password@server. Is there a way that I can
specify that this format be used anytime I want to download and install or
update a port? I'm using fetch instead of CVSup.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
