http proxy?

[Torsten]

Hi,

how can I set a http proxy for downloading the extension? I am sitting behid a restrictive firewall and need to go through a proxy to the internet.

I tried export http_proxy="http://<proxy>:<port>/" but it was rejected.
 
thx

It seems like busybox's wget should support that.  Are you talking about appbrowser?  Did you try running appbrowser in the same terminal after you have exported http_proxy?

Thx for the suggestion, but already the "export" failed

The export failed? Hmm.  Try the following, and if that fails give us exactly what you typed in, with only the numbers changed to protect the innocent, perhaps throw it into a

Code: [Select]

code box like this using the little page with the # sign in the comment entry form. 

I suspect there's some kind of a punctuation problem.  The normal syntax should look something like this:

Code: [Select]

export http_proxy='proxy.domain: port'
e.g.

Code: [Select]

export http_proxy="192.125.196.3:8080"
or with a username and password:

Code: [Select]

export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"

See the following link and see if it helps.

Hi:


I'm behind a restrictive firewall and need to go through a proxy to the internet from a linux guest using qemu (TC and opera inside it).

When browsing from the host I need to put the proxy settings in opera and authenticate against the proxy then opera will prompt for a username and password. That works OK.

The problem is when I'm on TC in qemu. I put the same settings in opera but can't browse the net . I also put

Code: [Select]

export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/"
but nothing.

any ideas?

Is that being set for qemu on the host?

Hi:

I did that on the Linux guest . The Host is windows 2000 and I don't have admin rigths.
