Currently > ftp won't connect to http://bytesex.org/misc/ to download webfs The ports collection only uses ftp(1) if it can't find fetch(1): .if exists(/usr/bin/fetch) # avoid -A for 2.2 -- it's not ported to that branch .if ${OSVERSION} < 300000 FETCH_CMD?= /usr/bin/fetch .else FETCH_CMD?= /usr/bin/fetch -A .endif #FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS+= $${CKSIZE:+-S $$CKSIZE} .else FETCH_CMD?= /usr/bin/ftp .endif And fetch(1) supports HTTP/1.1, so it doesn't have this problem: dima@hornet% fetch http://bytesex.org/misc/webfs_1.12.tar.gz Receiving webfs_1.12.tar.gz (35032 bytes): 100% 35032 bytes transferred in 1.0 seconds (33.71 kBps) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
