I installed your DMG version of the setup on a clean 10.6.8 machine I had sitting.
It works just great! That is exactly the kind of fix I was wondering about, and you’ve put together a great little installer. With your squid proxy running, the old original Safari browser registers as showing all current SSL capability at <https://howsmyssl.com>. MacPorts’ port command can download software from high-security SSL sites like github without any trouble: eg. sudo port clean —all ninja sudo port -d fetch —no-mirror ninja now works perfectly with the squid proxy enabled, ---> Fetching distfiles for ninja DEBUG: elevating privileges for fetch: euid changed to 0, egid changed to 0.

We’ve been struggling for a while now to provide a capable port command (and other commands) to software that will allow a current SSL to work. Looks like you’ve really hit the ball out of the park with this one. Thanks, Ken
