            Bug ID: 237356
           Summary: [feature request] ports-mgmt/pkg: allow 'http_proxy'
                    in repository context
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: pkg at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ehaupt at FreeBSD.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(pkg at FreeBSD.org)

As the pkg.conf (5) man page states it is currently possible to specify a HTTP
proxy within the global pkg environment context like so:

pkg_env: {
  http_proxy: "http://myproxy:3128",
}

It would be very useful if it were possible to specify HTTP proxies within a
repository configuration context. For instance:

# /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/mycorporaterepo.conf
FreeBSD: {
        url: "pkg+http://my.company.tld/${ABI}/latest",
        http_proxy: "http://someuser:secret@myproxy:3128"
}


This logic would be consistent with other repository config systems such as yum
(search 'proxy'):
