>Description:
pkg_add ignores the HTTP_PROXY=192.168.1.1:80 variable.

Because it is using ftpio and not libfetch? Just guessing.

The difference is important to us as the machine's default route is a modem link, but it is connected to a 2Mbit/s link through a proxy.
>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_add -r lynx

and

fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-current/Latest/lynx.tgz
pkg_add lynx.tgz
rm lynx.tgz

and notice the difference in speed (and route).
>Fix:
Make pkg_add use libfetch for all I/O Which means you can use any URL on the command line.
