Also using freebsd-update behind a proxy is really slow. Even with a

Maybe freebsd-update's backend could create a tarball of all those
diffs and provide this?
Even streaming the tar instead of waiting for the freebsd-update
server
to produce the tarball would be an improvement. I have no experience
doing that over a WAN but I don't see why it would be unreliable.
Colin, what do you think? Is it possible?
Anything is *possible*, but given that the number of patches available
is
typically at least 10x the number being fetched this doesn't seem like
it
would be very efficient.
FWIW, the performance problems with proxies are limited to HTTP proxies
which don't speak HTTP/1.1.
Are you sure?
I just tried it manually with telnet:
# telnet proxyserver 8080
Trying <IP Address>...
Connected to proxyserver.
CONNECT www.heise.de:80 HTTP/1.1
Proxy-Authorization:Basic blahblahblahbase64
HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
GET / HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
IIUC the proxy itself supports HTTP/1.1 but not the webserver behind the
proxy?
That's the same proxy that takes hours to download the patches with
httpget.
