Web browsing in text mode
Hi
I'm using Links-2.1pre14 to brows the web but it cant find a connection. We are using a proxy server and im dont know where to enter the settings or change any thing Could someone please give me advise. |
proxy etc are usually set in the config files. I am not sure what browser you are using. If it is links, the config is in the ~/.link directory. Just man links but the syntax is something like
host:port to set what the proxy server is. If you are using lynx, just man that and it has a user guide in it. What web based browser are you using? links, lynx, elinks, w3m? |
I'm using Links for browsing the net in text mode.

do an info on links. It will show you the format for the config file, or you can set that from the command line with this option:
-http-proxy <host:port> So, create a configuration file for it, or make an alias in your ~/.bashrc file alias links="links -http-proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 or whatever your proxy info is. then run . ~/.bashrc or log out and log back in (your choice) |
well what I did was I added the following line to my ~/.bash_profile file and it works in both lynx and elinks...(and any other command line network proggie as far as I know)
export http_proxy="10.3.0.3:8080" or whateva ur pl2oxy addl2ess is. good luck. |
