Okay, here's the results of performing the ftp manually as you suggested:
$ env | grep proxy
https_proxy=http://webproxy.crn.st.com:80/
http_proxy=http://webproxy.crn.st.com:80/
ftp_proxy=http://webproxy.crn.st.com:80/
$ ftp -d http://www.netbsd.org/index.html
parse_url: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host www.netbsd.org:80 path `/index.html'
got savefile as `index.html'
parse_url: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host webproxy.crn.st.com:80 path `/'
Requesting http://www.netbsd.org/index.html
(via http://webproxy.crn.st.com:80/)
received `HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required'
received `Proxy-agent: Netscape-Proxy/3.53'
received `Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2000 15:52:39 GMT'
received `Proxy-Authenticate: basic realm="unspecified"'
parsed proxy-auth as: basic realm="unspecified"
received `Content-Type: text/html'
received `Content-Length: 271'
parsed length as: 271
received `X-Cache: MISS from lps1.crn.st.com'
received `Proxy-Connection: close'
407 Proxy Authentication Required
auth_url: challenge `basic realm="unspecified"'
Username for `unspecified': eric fox
Password: $$$$$$
parse_url: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host www.netbsd.org:80 path `/index.html'
got savefile as `index.html'
parse_url: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host webproxy.crn.st.com:80 path `/'
Requesting http://www.netbsd.org/index.html
(via http://webproxy.crn.st.com:80/)
(with proxy authorization)
received `HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required'
received `Proxy-agent: Netscape-Proxy/3.53'
received `Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2000 15:52:44 GMT'
received `Proxy-Authenticate: basic realm="unspecified"'
parsed proxy-auth as: basic realm="unspecified"
received `Content-Type: text/html'
received `Content-Length: 271'
parsed length as: 271
received `X-Cache: MISS from lps1.crn.st.com'
received `Proxy-Connection: close'
407 Proxy Authentication Required
Authorization failed. Retry (y/n)?
BTW: This is with NetBSD 1.4.2. Any further ideas?
