Comment:

 The idea expressed here that changing netpbm's fetch from https to http
 will make it more likely to succeed is bizarre and backwards to me. We
 have in multiple other ports had to change fetching from http to https to
 avoid proxy problems. Proxy servers can and do interfere with http traffic
 and many of them do not understand the additional WebDAV HTTP verbs that
 Subversion uses, often resulting in fetch errors. Switching to https fixes
 this because https traffic is encrypted, thus proxy servers cannot decode
 it or mess with it.

 If you are having problems fetching this or any other port that fetches
 from an https URL, and fetching the same port via http works fine, and
 you've verified it isn't just an intermittent issue, and you're using a
 proxy server, then contact your proxy server's administrator.
