<title>How to fetch files from HTTPS sites</title>
<para>Some fetch tools are not prepared to support HTTPS by default
(for example, the one in NetBSD 6.0), or the one installed by the
pkgsrc bootstrap (to avoid an openssl dependency that low in the
dependency graph).</para>
<para>Usually you won't notice, because distribution files are
mirrored weekly to <quote>ftp.NetBSD.org</quote>, but that might not
be often enough if you are following pkgsrc-current. In that case, set
<varname>FETCH_USING</varname> in your &mk.conf; file to
<quote>curl</quote> or <quote>wget</quote>, which are both compiled
with HTTPS support by default. Of course, these tools need to be
installed before you can use them this way.</para>
