 This has recently (well, last few months max) started happening in the
 installer when trying to setup binary packages.
 
 I get with nightly netbsd 7 201501110540Z amd64 from nyftp:
 
      Status: Command failed
     Command: pkg_add http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.0_
 BETA/All/pkgin
      Hit enter to continue
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 pkg_add: Can't process http://ftp.NetBSD.org:80/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64
 /7.0_BETA/All/pkgin*: Host not found
 pkg_add: no pkg found for 'http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd6
 4/7.0_BETA/All/pkgin', sorry.
 pkg_add: 1 package addition failed
 
 Networking is fine (ipv4 and ipv6), can install everything else from
 that host fine, eg source packages and sets. So somehow globbing on
 ftp seems broken, possibly only with some web servers.
 
 However it is ok using ftp.allbsd.org, so it is maybe http server
 specific - maybe a bozohttpd issue?
