Installing a systemwide http proxy

Hi. I'm hooked up to the internet via my university and for some reason they decided to force everyone to use their http proxy. I got firefox working via the local proxy settings, but now I wonder, how do I get every client on my system to use this proxy for http access?

Re: Installing a systemwide http proxy

I am interested too.
I did the same for firefox,
I configured gaim to use a proxy too,
Skype seems to work with no changes
I also configured /etc/wgetrc for wget
I have this in my .bashrc
export http_proxy=http://myproxy.ext:8080

I don't use the pacman.conf proxy options since it fails very often, instead, I set  the Xfercommand to use wget

Maybe iptables and DNAT  ?

Re: Installing a systemwide http proxy

Add this to /root/.bashrc

export http_proxy=proxy.blah.com:8080

Or whatever port it uses.  Don't put http://

Re: Installing a systemwide http proxy

/etc/profile

is the place for system-wide settings like that, I think.
