Description Mikhail Teterin 2000-07-28 18:10:01 UTC

	mi@misha:~/ports/distfiles (134) fetch -v http://dev.scriptics.com/download/tcl/tcl8_4/tcl8.4a1.tar.gz
	looking up dev.scriptics.com
	connecting to dev.scriptics.com:80
	requesting http://dev.scriptics.com:80/download/tcl/tcl8_4/tcl8.4a1.tar.gz
	302 redirect to ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/tcl8.4a1.tar.gz
	fetch: tcl8.4a1.tar.gz: 
	mi@misha:~/ports/distfiles (135)

Fix: 

Run with ``-v'' and re-fetch the correct URL explicitly.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Try the line above. The Scriptics web server redirects to the
	ftp site and fetch just exits at that point. If you know to
	run fetch with ``-v'', you'll see this, but without ``-v'' it
	leaves you clueless :(

fetch(1) is mine.

Comment 2 des 2000-07-28 23:15:17 UTC

This has always been a problem with fetch(1). Not many sites currently
redirect to FTP URLs, but it *is* permissible behaviour for an HTTP
server, and libfetch should handle it properly. I'll see what can be
done about it.

This is still a problem, but I haven't had time to address it and probably 
won't for quite a while.
