 Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2003 6:41 pm Post subject: Emerge and a http proxy with authentication? |
 |
|
Hi
Just moved into university, and discovered they use a http proxy.
Having problems getting emerge to work
Have managed to get emerge-webrsync to this stage:
| Code: |
--19:42:41-- http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/snapshots/portage-20030928.tar.bz2
=> `portage-20030928.tar.bz2'
Connecting to 150.237.47.250:3128... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy Authentication Required
19:42:41 ERROR 407: Proxy Authentication Required.
|
but I can't find anyway to make it accept my authentication.
When browsing the internet, i have to enter a username and password into the browser, in order to get outside access, but i can't find a command that will let me do the same for emerge.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Edit your /etc/wget/wgetrc to use your proxy-user/password when connecting.
| Code: | Code:
proxy_user = proxyusername
proxy_password = proxypassword
|
if you want to try normal emerge:
get sure your RSYNC_PROXY variable is set correct AND it (the proxy) supports HTTPS CONNECT on port 873 (ask the admins)
HTH

Hi,
took me a while to figure out why it didn't work, but the code is actually
| Code: |
proxy_user = proxyusername
proxy_passwd = proxypassword
|
just to avoid confusion
Cheers,
