 |
|
I am using the livecd.
I am behind a proxy and am trying to use links2.
I seem to be able to ping the outside world.
When I use
| Code: | | export http_proxy="http://proxy.server.com:port" |
links2 still does not work.
However, when I use
| Code: | | links2 -http-proxy proxy.server.com:8080 http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml |
It works.
Why are these two methods of using the proxy different? |

maby links does not read the http_proxy variable
maby you should type it without quotation marks " , i ussually do that but i can't recall now if it works with links, i suppose that i had to set the proxy for links separately,
small hint: you can set the proxy in the links itself, so every call of links will have the proxy set, of course if you save the changes into the configuration
