I'm not able to reproduce this problem. It fetches and checksums fine for me from ​http://dl.hexchat.net/hexchat/. Please attach the main.log so that we might see why it failed for you. Also let us know whether you're able to access that URL in a web browser.

failure from main.log file

today I selfupdated to 2.3.4 and updated outdated before attempting to add this.

On a quick test, it seems to work (although running port from trunk, where the output is a bit messed up):

I do not know why the distfile was not mirrored, though, as it should be.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

Seems to be a problem related to SSL:

:notice:fetch --->  Attempting to fetch hexchat-2.10.2.tar.xz from http://dl.hexchat.net/hexchat/
:debug:fetch Fetching distfile failed: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

The problem is that the upstream HTTPS server cannot be used with OpenSSL 0.9.8 anymore, as the handshake fails. As confirmed on IRC, the system used was OS X 10.8, on which system libcurl still uses this OpenSSL version from the system.

I guess this is the same reason why the fetch fails. There is not much we can do about it, despite moving our mirroring infrastructure to a more recent SSL/TLS implementation.

This problem still exists.

Error: org.macports.fetch for port hexchat returned: fetch failed

It looks like it's redirecting the original URL to another one (301 Moved Permanently ... )

As a workaround, create the directory

${prefix}l/var/macports/distfiles/hexchat

and go into it, and use wget to download the file.

We will move our mirroring infrastructure to a more modern server.
