RE: portaudit and portsnap acting silly.

Fixed.

For reference, it was squid, happily caching the data for me.

Makes one wonder why the portsnap and portaudit servers or clients aren't
http compliant if they use http protocols... Especially since the author of
portsnap suggests a cache server for speed....

Oh well...

Subject: portaudit and portsnap acting silly.

Portaudit does this:
# portaudit -Fa
auditfile.tbz 100% of 46 kB
6001 kBps
portaudit: Database too old.
Old database restored.
portaudit: Download failed.


Portsnap does this:
# portsnap fetch
Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap3.FreeBSD.org... done.
Latest snapshot on server is older than what we already have!
Cowardly refusing to downgrade from Thu Dec 27 08:10:58 PST
2007 to Mon Dec 3 17:04:28 PST 2007.


In case anyone knows anyone who can beat them back into submission.
