>Organization:
>Environment:
NetBSD Unzan 6.1.5 NetBSD 6.1.5 (GENERIC) i386
>Description:
Host not found errors when trying to install packages from ftp.NetBSD.org during installation step "Enable installation of binary packages" or during normal usage of pkg_add with PKG_PATH set to "http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.1.5/All". If the "http://" is explicitly replaced with "ftp://", installing works, but that is bad practice.

The problem seemingly stems from the wildcard character * not being supprted over http. The client attempts to find <package name>* where the * is the version number of the package, but can only find it if connected to the server through ftp://
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Boot the installation media for NetBSD 6.1.5 i386
2. Install as normal until
3. Attempt to enable installation of binary packages.

OR

# export PKG_PATH="http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.1.5/All"
# pkg_add <any program>
>Fix:
Enable wildcard globbing over http in the official ftp server.

 Have you tried add a trailing /?

 Alright. pkg_add works when I add the trailing slash.

 The default settings at OS installation for the binary packages still 
 don't though.
