The following reply was made to PR bin/25494; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Mike Pelley" <mike@pelley.com> To: "Dag-Erling Smorgrav" <des@ofug.org> Cc: <FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG> Subject: Re: bin/25494: fetch uses environment variable FTP_PROXY, ftp/lynx use ftp_proxy Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 21:00:27 -0500 > Is this really the correct fix? Does lynx really apply the exact same > semantics to ftp_proxy / http_proxy as libfetch does do FTP_PROXY / > HTTP_PROXY? ftp is in the base system and it also uses ftp_proxy/http_proxy. The use of these environment variables is very similar between the two (and lynx) as far as I can tell - but perhaps I'm missing something? I think consistency is important - it seems incovenient to have two variables that do the same thing. > (me, I'm tempted to say the correct fix is "don't use lynx, use w3m") This doesn't quite seem relevant, but ftp should be enough to justify it regardless.
