Setting up the Linux terminal to use proxy servers
If you are running proxy at IP 192.168.1.1 with the proxy port as 3128 and wish to use wget, lynx and other utilities from a shell prompt then export the following variables on the command line.
export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/
export ftp_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/
export ftps_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/
export https_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/
export ftp_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/
export ftps_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/
export https_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128/
Now your will be able to use the update commands from the command line.
