Updating http_proxy environment variable

view full story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I recently changed my password corresponding to my username for my proxy. Hence I updated the apt.conf and /etc/environment files with my new password. However when I type echo $http_proxy or env which prints all the environment variables, it displays the value with old password. Similarly for socks_proxy, all_proxy. Any solutions? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Updating http_proxy environment variable

What is the correct format using special characters in http_proxy environment variable? Or to be mor specific, what to do with special characters in username or password when authenticate to http proxy on the command line.

Suppose for the sake of argument my password below is abc123@

I need to authenticate my linux machine through a corporate proxy to get patches and updates...

We are experiencing some unusual behavior on a RHEL 5 / 5.5 (Tikanga) box with respect to environment variables, namely "http_proxy."

We have a non-privileged user running Apache 2.2.x, PHP 5.3.x, and MySQL 5.5.x. One of the requirement was for a PHP-based SOAP service to communicate with an external server outside of the DMZ.

Still doesn't work. It's the strangest thing. You would think though that when I start a terminal it would allow me to launch a web browser from the terminal and have it work since echo $http_proxy shows the right variable.

Why can i use:

sudo pip install [package]

on my machine, but on another i have to use:

sudo -E pip install [package]

how can i make it so that it doesnt require -E?

EDIT:

Im pretty sure its to do with setting up the environment variables for root.

Set Network Proxy Linux 18 weeks 5 days ago

I have a raspberry pi and I need to set a network proxy for both apt and browser.

How do I do this?

The only thing I have found is to use the following lines in the bash.bashrc file

export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyhost:port/ export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyhost:port/

However I do not have a username or password as the proxy does not require authentication.

Network Proxy Settings 42 weeks 6 days ago

Is there a way to change the network proxy settings from a C program that runs in a terminal window?

(I posted another reply simply because my previous post was beginning to look kind of large and cluttered.)So here's the, for now, final product of the above script(s) and function.  function proxyoff () {

unset HTTP_PROXY # an instance of every possible proxy. unset http_proxy unset HTTPS_PROXY unset https_proxy unset FTP_PROXY unset ftp_proxy

if [[ -z $1 ]] ; then # if $1 i

Hello all,

Since i've came on linux, i know that XFCE is my favorite desktop environment. I really love this simplicity, this speed etc. But their is one thing poisoning my life, the absence if proxy manager... I know there is a command to set a proxy (export http_proxy=<proxy>:<port>).
