http_proxy in solaris10 sparc?

so there is no environment variable like linux's http_proxy where you can set it and let other applications using http traffic to go through proxy server ? I mean, configure individual package using http to go through proxy is kinda not as convenient.

Forgot to mention i only have ssh access.

Hi Gheist,


does that export mean I going to allow system wide accessing using that single username/password? is there anyway to limit the access of proxy for per user credential basis(ie. each user have to use their own login and password to get through proxy to internet)?
 

hmm i tried the http approach, but not sure if it is because the last character of my password is '@' , or sth else causing issue. I doesn't seem to able to get anything download using pca "http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/installation.html"

bash-3.00$ pca -l all
Downloading xref file to /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref
Trying https://sunsolve.sun.com/patchdiag.xref (1/1)

Failed (patchdiag.xref not found)

ERROR: Can't open xref file /var/tmp/patchdiag.xref (No such file or directory)

my wget work with normal http download but not https download. Not too sure what's wrong here. My web browser has no trouble to access https site.

bash-3.00# echo $http_proxy
http://username:password@companyproxy.com:8080
bash-3.00# echo $https_proxy
http://username:password@companyproxy.com:8080

forgot to paste the error message when trying to download file from https

Connecting to companyproxy.com[x.x.x.x]:8080... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 400 Bad Request
11:22:23 ERROR 400: Bad Request.

i tried added that, but still got the same result..

Can someone else with more knowledge able to help me for this issue?


From the error log, it had probably already pass the authentication stage (hence the work 'connected').  But somehow, it doens't get pass the https for the proxy? During my normal browsing, I don't usually enter credential twice.

Btw, what would the error 400 stand for proxy error return ?

bash-3.00# echo $http_proxy
http://username:password@company_proxy.com:8080/
bash-3.00# echo $https_proxy

i dont' have access to proxy server unfortunately.  because of the company bureaucracy, i can't get any info from them..

I am able to download via wget via http but not via https . I can go try lynx but not so sure where to config the ssl (seldom use lynx)

well.. the problem is when going thro http, most pacakge are not found. Not sure if it is because i use "--noreboot" and "--safe".  But only 10% of package get update make me wonder if http access allow all the update package to be done.
