Description AnarCat 2002-02-06 19:20:00 UTC 
The www/en/cgi/ports.cgi script is handy to list ports and ports
changes. However, it is completely useless to download the given port,
since it links to

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/archivers/sectar

which is a directory.

Fix: Use cvsweb, which has tarball generation capabilities, to link to:

This is some kind of fix.
How-To-Repeat: 
follow (eg)
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=mutt&stype=name&release=4.4-STABLE%2Fi386

and click on any "download" link. It will timeout or simply be refused.
