>Description:
	freebsd-update and portsnap don't work (fail to download necessary files) when the HTTP_PROXY environment variable  contains the "user:password@" syntax.
>How-To-Repeat:
	setenv HTTP_PROXY http://user:password@your.proxy.com:3128
	freebsd-update fetch
	portsnap fetch
	Both will fail eventually with the "snapshot is corrupt" message.
>Fix:
	Workaround: use direct connection to the Internet or an HTTP proxy without authentication.
