    Has it ever worked?

It used to work.

    Tell your company to fix that; that's broken and it will interfere with 
MacPorts being able to determine what server is closest to you for fastest 
service.
    
Unfortunately, that’s not going to accomplish anything.  It’s a company policy 
and the company has over 300k employees.  I have zero chance of influencing 
this.

    rsync.macports.org is an rsync server, not a web server, so there's no 
reason to access it in a web browser. If you do, it will, for historical 
reasons, redirect to distfiles.

    Consult your network administrator.

OK, thanks.
