For convenience, you can set those variables from within /etc/make.conf: FETCH_ENV= FTP_PROXY=http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128/ \ HTTP_PROXY=http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128/ You can also use the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH variable where: HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:3128/ HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:username:password is equivalent to the previous HTTP_PROXY setting. In theory that can let you use other HTTP authorization schemes than basic auth, except that support for those other schemes has not yet been added to libfetch.
