 |
|
Although i have my environment variable set with | Code: | | export HTTP_PROXY="http://username:password@myproxy.co.za:8080" |
i can't seem to access any web sites via lynx or links2 etc. This is weird since Mozilla authentication, as well as most browser types, work just fine. Telnetting to the proxy server on 8080 swallows every request (ie CONNECT etc)
The proxy server in question runs squid/2.5.STABLE4. Can someone advise on how to get it to work? thx  |

I would do this:
- run tcpdump, or ethereal
- sniff the packets when I use wget
- sniff the packets when I use mozilla
- compare |

| Haven't played around much with the TCP packet construction yet. Lemme figure it out first... |

Hi,
1) use lower case for the variable - makes http_proxy instead of HTTP_PROXY
2) set username/password for your proxy in /etc/wget/wgetrc, remove from the export
