My company recently enabled proxy authentication for outgoing connections, and this has stopped ports from working.
>From fetch(5), I understand that I can place my proxy authentication in plain text in the environment*, and this will allow fetch to work correctly, and this does work: > # env | grep -i proxy ftp_proxy=http://proxy:3128/ HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:tev...@domain.com:password HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy:3128/ > # fetch http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz 100% of 36 kB 77 MBps However, the ports makefiles seem to do something funky to my environment which hides these environment variables, and so the ports infrastructure stops working: > # make fetch ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE => googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => Attempting to fetch from http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/. fetch: http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz: Proxy Authentication Required => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/. fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/googlecl-0.9.5.tar.gz: Not Found => Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this => port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/FreeBSD/CURRENT/ports/net/googlecl. This is on i386 7-STABLE, last updated in mid May, with current ports, last updated yesterday. Cheers Tom * Which, incidently, is completely rubbish. Why is there no option for HTTP like ~/.netrc for FTP? Exposing my passwords in plain text in my environment feels stupid. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
