Set proxy through windows command line including login parameters

If you are using Microsoft windows environment then you can set a variable named HTTP_PROXY, FTP_PROXY, or HTTPS_PROXY depending on the requirement.

I have used following settings for allowing my commands at windows command prompt to use the browser proxy to access internet.

set HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy_userid:proxy_password@proxy_ip:proxy_port

The parameters on right must be replaced with actual values.

Once the variable HTTP_PROXY is set, all our subsequent commands executed at windows command prompt will be able to access internet through the proxy along with the authentication provided.

Additionally if you want to use ftp and https as well to use the same proxy then you may like to the following environment variables as well.

set FTP_PROXY=%HTTP_PROXY%set HTTPS_PROXY=%HTTP_PROXY%

cmd

Tunnel all your internet traffic through a socks proxy:

netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=localhost:9090" bypass-list="localhost"

View the current proxy settings:

netsh winhttp show proxy

Clear all proxy settings:

netsh winhttp reset proxy

IE can set username and password proxies, so maybe setting it there and import does work
