It instead uses the system lib curl which it is liked against. The only way to get port to use a different curl is to rebuild base, configured to use that version.</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Ah, that is what I missed. How about adding a fallback option to use an alternate command line curl through PATH, when available, after normal fetch attempts have failed?
