>Description:
At work and home both ISPs force port 80 connections through an Inktomi
Traffic-Server caching proxy.  I have no way around this and I imagine a
number of people are in the same shape.  If I try a port build, like
www/apache13-php3, I can't fetch the patches from an http site -
this presumably happens for all http sites.  I can get around the 
problem by having squid use the proxy.

Presumably the Traffic-Server modifies the traffic is some manner that
'fetch' doesn't like, but it should be an easy fix - I could step through
the fetch attempt if somebody could give me some help building a
a debuggable fetch.

BTW - I have seen some discussion of other problems with Traffic-server,
including some company threatening to sue because it broke their
commerce system.  Our HTTP guys at work noticed that pages were not
being updated as they should be, as well.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use fetch from an ISP which forces proxying via Inktomi
Traffic-server.
>Fix:
(hopefully) minor code changes to fetch?
