Hi, i'm trying to run nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup on a WinXP with the
0.99.3a tar sources.
cygwin wget is intsalled and runs properly.
But how do i specify the proxy and parameters (authenthication)?
I tried defining a HTTP_PROXY environment variable to ipaddress:port and
added a --proxy-user=xxx --proxy-password=yyy in the win32-setup.sh but it
still doesn't use the proxy (HTTP request goes out directly => is
unanswered).
How do i specify it?
There might be other ways:
I've used wget from cygwin. Edit (or create) the .wgetrc file in the
cygwin home dir and add:
http_proxy = http://yourproxy.com:1234/
And more important: comment out the line 54 of
win32-setup.sh
#use_proxy="-Y off"
I'm thinking about keeping this line commented, as it doesn't seem to
make sense to me, why would you *prevent* wget from using a proxy ...
