>From Fetch's manpage: "A proxy server can be configured by defining an environment variable named "PROTO_PROXY", where PROTO is the name of the protocol in upper case. The value of the environment variable specifies a hostname, optionally followed by a colon and a port number." So for you it would be HTTP_PROXY=172.16.1.11:3128 Lynx's cfg file indicated Lynx does the same, except it uses "proto_proxy" (eg proto_proxy=http://172.16.1.11:3128/) My suggestion is to browse on some computer until you get the exact download link, then use Fetch to get the actual installation file. And Netscape is something like 14MB for the standard version, I believe. >On Jun 20, 1:13pm, Aaron Johnson wrote: >> Subject: Proxy Server >> >> Is there any way of making FreeBSD use a proxy server to browse the internet >> using >> either Mosaic or Chimera rather than downloading 30mb of Netscape >> Communicator >> for it's proxy option? >> >> my proxy server is at 172.16.1.11:3128 on my local network >> my ethernet settings for TCP/IP in FreeBSD are set to gateway being >> 172.16.1.11 >> my DNS is set to my isp Primary DNS and my IP address is 172.16.1.21 >> >> am I close? >> >> aaron >> aaron@aaronfcsi.force9.co.uk >>-- End of excerpt from Aaron Johnson --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
