Hi,

I'm trying out FreeBSD for the first time for use at work.  However,
there is a corporate firewall and hence ftp traffic doesn't get
through. I can access http sites.  So if a selling point of FreeBSD is
its ports collection

1.  Can you do a CVSup to update your ports via http?=20

2.  Can you install ports via http?

Thanks!

Sam
