I have en openbsd 6.7 box, behind an socks5 proxy.

Im having some issues exporting env varible, so I can pkg_add and syspatch?

e.g.

Code:

export http_proxy=socks5://user:pass@192.168.100.100:1080

pkg_add vim
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.7/packages-stable/amd64/: ftp: Malformed proxy URL: socks5://user:pass@192.168.100.10:1080
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.7/packages/amd64/: ftp: Malformed proxy URL: socks5://user:pass@192.168.100.10:1080
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.7/packages/amd64/: empty
Can't find vim

The issue is the same with socks5h..

Is this not possible beghind an socks5 proxy, but only using an "normal" http(s) proxy?

Support for 6.7 ended with the release of 6.9 on May 1, 2021. The most recent release is 7.0.

pkg_add uses ftp(1) by default, which does not support SOCKS proxies. An alternate to ftp(1) can be provisioned -- see the FETCH_CMD environment variable in the pkg_add(1) man page.
