Comment(by jxzhu@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 jmr@…]:
 > Are you using a proxy? Are you able to fetch this file using curl with
 FTP_PROXY set? Snow Leopard's version of libcurl has a bug related to
 handling of proxy environment >variables ([rdar://problem/7997030],
 [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100976&aid=2913886&group_id=976
 upstream]), so you may need to disable >proxy use for FTP.

 This should be related to the ticket (#25857) which was created by myself
 and is now closed.
 My system is behind the proxy. The Fetch via FTP always fails on my
 machine with Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
 But I don't have problem to open the ftp site by put the ftp link on a web
 browser.

 Since I am relatively newer to MacPorts, I would appreciate if you can
 tell me in more detail
 How to fetch the file using curl with FTP_PROXY set?
 [I mean a list of procedures (commands) to get, e.g., the file
  hdf5-1.8.5.tar.bz2 from ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src/ ].

 Also how can I disable the proxy use for FTP?


 Right now, I have in sudoers file

 Defaults        env_keep += "http_proxy HTTP_PROXY HTTPS_PROXY FTP_PROXY
 RSYNC_PROXY"
 Defaults        env_keep += "ALL_PROXY NO_PROXY"

 and in my .cshrc

 setenv RSYNC_PROXY proxy.xxx.xxx:8080
 #setenv FTP_PROXY proxy.xxx.xxx:8080

 As you notice, I have commented out the line for FTP_PROXY environment
 variable. But it doesn't help.


 Thanks.
