Re: All HTTP Fetches fail, only FTP working

Hello-

I'm having a strange problem where all of the fetch attempts using HTTP fail, but all FTP work fine (see output below). Any ideas what might be going wrong?

When that happened to me, it turned out that something had set the environment variable 'http_proxy' to something bogus, and curl was honoring that. I never did figure out what was doing that; I wound up having to manually unset it in my .bashrc. Melissa Reid
