Since ftp is working but not http - as a workarround you could try for eg:<br>
<br>
./configure --download-f-blas-lapack=<a href="ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/externalpackages/f2cblaslapack-3.1.1.a.tar.gz" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/externalpackages/f2cblaslapack-3.1.1.a.tar.gz</a></blockquote>
