[SOLVED] pacman over wget with http proxy

Hey,
how do I configure pacman to work with a http proxy?

Example:
http proxy: proxy.hello-world.com:8888
user: iloveyou42
password: h4xx

The wget wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wget) tells me that it uses the standard environment settings. But that doesn't work... So I tried:
wget --proxy-user "proxy.hello-world.com\iloveyou42" --proxy-password "h4xx" proxy.hello-world.com:8888
and without port:
wget --proxy-user "proxy.hello-world.com\iloveyou42" --proxy-password "h4xx" proxy.hello-world.com
Dosnt work as well...

Is it possible to make this work (if possible without wget)?

Thx 4 help smile

SOLUTION:

PROXY='http://iloveyou42:h4xx@proxy.hello-world.com:8888'
    export HTTP_PROXY="$PROXY"
    export http_proxy="$PROXY"

You have to set the environment variables each time for every terminal in which you run 'pacman' (that's how my setup works and I also use 'wget').

Unfortunately, I cannot assist with this further. I am using wget successfully with this advice: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Proxy_settings

An alterative method? Don't know if this would work but I don;t see why it wouldn't. You could try piping pacman through proxychains? you could even set it up to work with tor.

Re: [SOLVED] pacman over wget with http proxy

How about setting the proxy details in your ~/.wgetrc or /etc/wgetrc file?

A temporary file is just a pipe with an attitude and a will to live.

Re: [SOLVED] pacman over wget with http proxy

I second xxxspuddy's post.
On my servers I've configured wget in /etc/wgetrc to always download through the proxy*. In /etc/pacman.conf you would have to specify /usr/bin/wget as the XferCommand.

*) actually, there are two proxies: one local proxy (cntlm) and the company ISA proxy that cntlm helps to authenticate against.

Re: [SOLVED] pacman over wget with http proxy

You don't *have* to use wget to use a proxy with pacman. I use the following script successfully, called from my .bashrc:

if [ -n "$1" ] ; then
    HN=$1
else
    HN=`hostname -f`
fi

case $HN in
    *.archserver.org)
        PROXY=''
        ;;
    *.company.com.au)
        PROXY='http://proxy.company.com.au:3128'
        BYPASS='192.168.0.0/16,127.0.0.0/8,localhost'
        ;;
    *.fukawi2.pvt)
        PROXY='http://proxy.fukawi2.pvt:3128'
        BYPASS='192.168.0.0/16,127.0.0.0/8,localhost'
        ;;
    *)
        PROXY=''
        ;;
esac

# clean, then export the environment vars
unset HTTP_PROXY http_proxy FTP_PROXY ftp_proxy no_proxy
if [ -n "$PROXY" ] ; then
    export HTTP_PROXY="$PROXY"
    export http_proxy="$PROXY"
    export HTTPS_PROXY="$PROXY"
    export https_proxy="$PROXY"
    export FTP_PROXY="$PROXY"
    export ftp_proxy="$PROXY"
    export no_proxy="$BYPASS"
fi

Re: [SOLVED] pacman over wget with http proxy

Atreyu94,

Welcome to the forums.  I would point out that you have responded to an eight year old thread.
I doubt whatever problem you are having is the same as the one from 2011.  Even if it is, I doubt the original poster is still fighting it.

I am going to close this thread, and invite you to start a new thread detailing your problem which you will own.  If you think this thread relevant, go ahead and link back to it.

Thanks
