>Synopsis: OpenBSD 6.3 http install fails if http proxy is used
>Category: installer
>Environment:
System : OpenBSD 6.3
Details : OpenBSD 6.3 (GENERIC.MP) #107: Sat Mar 24 14:21:59 MDT
2018
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP
Architecture: OpenBSD.amd64
Machine : amd64
>Description:
When using an HTTP proxy to install, the installation is unable to
retrieve files after selecting sets. This is because the retrieval
URL is being set from the output of FTP when it fetches SHA256.sig,
but doesn't account for ftp echoing '(via <proxy>)' after the URL.
Line 1376 of the file 'install.sub' attempts to strip the trailing
'/SHA256.sig' from the URL in the output, but since there's extra
characters afterwards the pattern doesn't match and the base URL
for fetching further files fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set an http proxy during install, either manually or via autoinstall.
>Fix:
Change line 1376 of install.sub from:
_rurl_base=${_rurl_base%/SHA256.sig}
to:
_rurl_base=${_rurl_base%/SHA256.sig*}
