FreeBSD Postsnap via https
Hello,
I was wondering if there are any https servers available for freebsd
portsnap ? I would like to use portsnap behind my companies proxy servers.
But alas they will not allow large compressed files through the proxy, which have alot of small files contained within the file. Obviously they download the file and then decompress it to scan it for virus/malware/bad stuff etc.
Except for obviously for ssl connections they are passed straight through.
Are there any portsnap servers that are accessible by https ?
I do a similar thing for gentoo when using portage.

portsnap.conf
PORTSNAP.CONF(5) BSD File Formats Manual PORTSNAP.CONF(5)
NAME
portsnap.conf -- configuration file for portsnap(8)
DESCRIPTION
The portsnap.conf file controls where portsnap(8) fetches ports tree snapshots from, which RSA key should be trusted to sign the updates, and
what directories should hold the compressed and live ports trees.
A line of the form
SERVERNAME=portsnap.example.com
specifies the source from which snapshots should be fetched. This is equivalent to the -s server option to portsnap(8), and will be ignored
if the command-line option is used.
A line of the form
KEYPRINT=0123456789abc ... 456789abcdef
(64 characters in total) specifies the SHA-256 hash of the OpenSSL public key file belonging to an RSA keypair which is trusted to sign
updates. This is equivalent to the -k KEY option to portsnap(8), and will be ignored if the command-line option is used.
A line of the form
WORKDIR=/path/to/workdir
specifies the directory in which portsnap should maintain its compressed snapshot of the ports tree. This is equivalent to the -d workdir
option to portsnap(8), and will be ignored if the command-line option is used.
A line of the form
PORTSDIR=/path/to/portstree
specifies the directory in which portsnap will create the live ports tree from its compressed snapshot via the extract and update commands.
This is equivalent to the -p portsdir option to portsnap(8), and will be ignored if the command-line option is used.
If more than one line of any of the above forms is included in portsnap.conf then only the last one will take effect.
A line of the form
INDEX INDEXFILE DESCRIBEFILE
will instruct portsnap(8) that the specified INDEX file is generated from the specified describe file distributed by the portsnap server.
Finally, a line of the form
REFUSE foo bar
will instruct portsnap(8) to ignore parts of the ports tree with paths starting with foo or bar, which are interpreted as extended regular
expressions by egrep(1). This will result in those parts of the tree not being updated in the compressed snapshot when the fetch and cron
commands are used and not being extracted when the extract command is used (unless a specific path is passed to portsnap(8)), and if those
parts of the ports tree are present they will not be updated when the update command is used. Unlike the other options, the parameters in
REFUSE lines accumulate and all such lines are considered. Note that operating with an incomplete ports tree is not supported and may cause
unexpected results.
Any lines not of the above forms will be ignored.
FILES
/etc/portsnap.conf Default location of the portsnap configuration file.
