 Replying to [ticket:72298 vitaprimo]:
 > I get a connection refused error, but if I go to the [only complete]
 address on the browser or fetch it using `curl` right in the same
 terminal, it does work.

 In a web browser or with curl, you are accessing a web server using the
 http or https protocol on ports 80 or 443. That is not equivalent to what
 MacPorts is doing, which is accessing an rsync server using the rsync
 protocol and port.

 > Because it says it's using `rsync` I was worried about port 22, or the
 other ''port 5-'' or ''8-hundred-something'' used with the rsync daemon.

 The port number rsync uses is 873.
