How do I set up curl to permanently use a proxy? [closed]
Many UNIX programs respect the http_proxy
environment variable, curl included. The format curl accepts is [protocol://]<host>[:port]
.
In your shell configuration:
export http_proxy http://proxy.server.com:3128
For proxying HTTPS requests, set https_proxy
as well.
Curl also allows you to set this in your .curlrc
file (_curlrc
on Windows), which you might consider more permanent:
http_proxy=http://proxy.server.com:3128
