Hello,
It seems that the '-p' option of rfc doesn't work anymore:

rfc v3.2.3: perl util to search the rfc-index and disply the pages with $viewer
usage:  rfc #     search rfc-index for specified RFC and list topic
        rfc -d # /path/ (optional) dumps plain text RFC. default is current dir
        rfc -h    displays this stuff
        rfc -i    updates the /usr/local/etc/rfc-index via $viewer
        rfc -k    keyword; same as -s
        rfc -l #  spawns $viewer to the specified RFC
        rfc -m # u...@remote.net [opt subject]; emails the RFC to given address
        rfc -n #/daemon local search for non-standard service/port nums
                  (BO, Netbus, etc)
        rfc -o #  Dumps RFC to STDOUT
        rfc -p    Connect to INI's assigned numbers for proto nums or
                  services/ports association
        rfc -r    go wild with your own regexp on rfc-index
        rfc -s "string" Search the index for specific string

Thank you for the report. I am not sure if this application is maintained elsewhere, but I could not find any new updates from the developer or anyone else that had forked it last night.

I did write a patch[1] against the port to use the data from the FTP server instead of the HTTP server. The HTTP server provides XML by default and text if requested, however, the text is not the same format that rfc expects.

Let me know if it works for you--it works for me :), and I will try to update the port tonight with it.
