--- Description ---
Hello,

within several VMs I have to configure a http proxy in pkg.conf by
pkg_env: { http_proxy: ....}

This used to work up to pkg 2.6.2.

At the moment I have some VMs with pkg 2.7.0 and 2.7.4, all ignoring the
http_proxy configuration.

tcpdumps from 2.6.2 and 2.7.x showed that 2.7.0 tries to connect to
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org directly, while 2.6.2 uses the configured proxy as
expected.


Kind regards

  Ralf
