Hi all,

 

I'm trying to configure the proxy settings in Lynx (or Links) but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Take a look to the /etc/lynx.cfg file, section ".h1 Proxy"; just edit the parameters you need. ie:

http_proxy:http://theproxyitrust.com:8888/

(if you want the settings for a single user, then create your own copy of that file as ~./lynxrc)

lynx also uses the standard http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables. Mandrake also allows you to set these globally (drakproxy I think).

 

$ export http+proxy=http://proxy.mydomain.com:3128

$ lynx
