>Description:
In corporate environment behind firewall like BlueCoat Firewall it's significantly more difficult to figure out how to make FTP work than e.g.: HTTP. 

BlueCoat fetches files to itself, performs virus scanning and comes back to the user app. For some reason HTTP works OK, while FTP doesn't.

I use fetch(1) as my FTP agent. I use pkg_add -rv git. It gets stuck after passive 

freebsd_x64# echo $ftp_proxy
ftp://proxy:21


with http:// it works seamlessly:

To lover the cost for making FreeBSD work behind the firewall, I sugegst we use:

PACKAGEROOT http://ftp.freebsd.org

>How-To-Repeat:
freebsd_x64# pkg_add -vr git
scheme:   [ftp]
user:     []
password: []
host:     [ftp.freebsd.org]
port:     [0]
document: [/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release/Latest/git.tbz]
scheme:   [ftp]
user:     []
password: []
host:     [proxy]
port:     [0]
document: [/]
---> proxy:21
looking up proxy
connecting to proxy:21
<<< 220 Blue Coat FTP Service
>Fix:
We ship with PACKAGEROOT set to http://... to make firewall-related problems less visible.
