>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.
