>Originator:     Joji
>Release:        4.6.2
>Organization:
none
>Environment:
I don't have access to the machine right now. But the env. is as follows:
dell i8200 laptop running FreeBSD 4.6.2
>Description:
If you are sitting behing a proxy that requires authentication, then the directions in the man page of fetch (8) does not work. I tried setting http_proxy (and HTTP_PROXY) and HTTP_PROXY_AUTH. I wanted to install something from the ports directory. Eventually I tried the following and I was able to install from the ports tree:

export http_proxy=http://username:password@server.domain:port

with appropriate substitutions and then things worked.
>How-To-Repeat:
If you are behind a proxy, do the following:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/gimp
make

will fail. Even if you set http_proxy and HTTP_PROXY_AUTH as described in the man page for fetch (8)
>Fix:
The man page should say:
export http_proxy=http://username:password@server.domain:port
