Ubuntu 12.10 cURL with proxy

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 22000 / 3 Years ago, wed, september 29, 2021, 2:58:21

I´m using proxy and don´t have problems with anything except cURL.

Anytime i try to do:

curl -L http://link.to.something

i receive:

curl: (5) Couldn't resolve proxy 'http'

Nevertheless:

curl --proxy http://myproxy.com:8080 -L http://link.to.something

will work good.

Is there any solution for not writing --proxy everytime?

From man curl:

-x, --proxy <[protocol://][user@password]proxyhost[:port]>



 Use the specified HTTP proxy. 

 If the port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080.

For general use, declare environment variables for http/https

export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port/

export https_proxy=$http_proxy

edit /etc/bash.bashrc add to the end of file :

    export http_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:port/

    export https_proxy=$http_proxy

    export ftp_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:port/

OR proxy no username and password case - :

    export http_proxy=http://proxyserver.com:port/

    export https_proxy=$http_proxy

    export ftp_proxy=http://proxyserver.com:port/
