My only experience using this was with an authenticated proxy, so I still
think it works. The downside of the solution is that you need to set an
environment variable containing your password (so you don't want it in your
.bashrc file, and you'll probably want to clear the command from your
history).
export http_proxy="
http://username:password.proxy_address:port"
You have to make sure the username, password, proxy address, and the port
number are all correct...
Of course I can't speak for all proxies, just the one I was using last
summer (but it was a corporate Proxy, for what that's worth...)
All the best,
Jason
