[SOLVED] - Running behind proxy
I have an http_proxy which i use to surf the web. It works fine in firefox. But when I try to do anything via konsole (I have KDE on Arch x86_64) I get a "no route to host" error.
Using wget:
[theta@boolean-pc ~]$ wget http://download.songbirdnest.com/installer/windows/i686-msvc8/Songbird_1.8.0-1800_windows-i686-msvc8.exe
--2010-09-28 13:40:14-- http://download.songbirdnest.com/installer/windows/i686-msvc8/Songbird_1.8.0-1800_windows-i686-msvc8.exe
Resolving download.songbirdnest.com... 74.201.255.108
Connecting to download.songbirdnest.com|74.201.255.108|:80... failed: No route to host.

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr : No route to hostI have naturally already exported the http_proxy variable.
Please help

Re: [SOLVED] - Running behind proxy
There are other variables you need to set too. Different programs look and different vars (annoying!)
Here's mine:
http_proxy=http://proxy.fukawi2.local:3128
https_proxy=http://proxy.fukawi2.local:3128
ftp_proxy=http://proxy.fukawi2.local:3128
HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.fukawi2.local:3128
HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.fukawi2.local:3128
FTP_PROXY=http://proxy.fukawi2.local:3128
no_proxy=127.0.0.0/8,localhostLast edited by fukawi2 (2010-09-28 10:02:08)

Re: [SOLVED] - Running behind proxy
I exported all the variables, but still no result.
Could this be related to KDE?

Re: [SOLVED] - Running behind proxy
I ended up using a combination of squid and ip tables...

Re: [SOLVED] - Running behind proxy
Sorry
It was a stupid mistake on my part.
I hadn't used the export command in the .bashrc file. It used to work without that in gnome but obviously doesn't in KDE.

Re: [SOLVED] - Running behind proxy
Yeah... laptops and moving between networks are fun... I am behind a proxy at work for http only so I just start squid when at work and then use ip tables to point all port 80 traffic that way. It works quite well.
