Proxy Setting

[Lin]

Hi, is there anyway I can set apt-cyg to download packages via a
proxy ? I've tried "http_proxy" environment variable with no success.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi,

It should be possible. All downloads are done with wget, so once you
get a version of wget that supports the http_proxy var, it will just
work.

Did you use "export http_proxy" after setting it?

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the reply, I did export the "http_proxy", but it didnt seem to work. I will try again in office 2mo morning and will let you know how it goes.

Thanks,
Lin
