wget doesn't work.

erkin · 2010-12-08 13:21:13

When I try to download anything with wget it gives the error:

Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/ Invalid host name

I can't even use w3m and Lynx because of the same reason. I'm using absolutely no proxy.

[erkin@rick ~]$ env | grep -i proxy
http_proxy=http://:8080
https_proxy=http://:0
no_proxy=

What should I do?

Those variables are getting set somewhere, you'll have to find out where and stop that.

# see if any profile scripts are doing it
grep proxy /etc/profile.d/**

# maybe a system service sets it on start
grep proxy /etc/rc.d/*

# or some apps user config is doing it
grep proxy ~/.*

You've got your http and https proxy environment variables set, which doesn't make sense if you're not using a proxy.

So you need to look for lines like the following in your .bashrc (or .zshrc, &c).

export http_proxy=http://:8080
export https_proxy=http://:0

and remove them.

Edit: also too slow! And not very thorough.

All three retrieve nothing.

There is nothing about proxy in .bashrc

This wiki page lists the files that are processed during startup
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Startup_files
Try to find which one is setting proxy

brisbin33 · 2010-12-08 16:06:26

find / -type f -exec egrep -l 'export *https?_proxy=' {} \;

Heh, and go get a cup of coffee.

Just hundreds of access denied and invalid argument errors... Also I spilled coffee on my shirt.

It works now. Thank you.

Care to enlighten the rest of us what the problem was - or rather how you made it work?

I really don't know. I used the code up there and tried again but it didn't work. Today I tried wget again, and somehow it works flawless today.
