Swaret through http proxy+auth
Hello everybody!.
I have a computer with Slackware on a net wich is using an http proxi Squid. This net is using the proxy via ex: 10.10.10.1:8080, so swaret can't update the respositories. There is a small config on swaret.conf, to enable a Proxy, and it probably works, but on my network i'm using an username-password via httpauth (typical squid config) and I can't specify the credentials on swaret.conf Code:
# If you want HTTP or FTP Proxy Support, As shown below, i have set up the proxy configuration, but i can't specify the proxy credentials. Any ideas about that? PD: I'm concious about that i can't use FTP repositories All the best. |
I do not use swaret, but you might try this:
Code:
WGET_PROXY=http://<user>:<password>@10.10.10.1:8080 |
Hi
Thanks for your response, but it didn't worked. I'll kepp trying, otherwise, i'll try with slackpkg. Exists another dependecy solution for Slack instead of slackpkg & swaret? Thanks |
I use slackpkg and am very satisfied with it :-)
Like I said, I don't use swaret and neither have a proxy to test the solution, but usually you set your proxy parameters this way. The standard variables are: Code:
export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/ Try setting these two variables and tell us if it worked. |
Hello!
Importing a new global variable didn't worked wit Swaret. Instead, I've tried with slackpkg, and it worked propiertly. Now I can download some repos. Thanks By the way, I've been using ALWAYS swaret, and slackpkg dropped me an error when using more than one http repository in Mirrors file. Slakpkg cannot use several or more repositories at once as swaret? PD: I would really appreciate a mirror to download the typical networking assestment tools. The included repos on Mirror's file cannot find some tools... Byez |
Isnt swaret dead? Even firefox (through google) says its a virus..
|
That's correct, Slackpkg accepts only one mirror at a time.
Choose one close to you or one width lots of bandwidth... Are you looking for any specific network tool? |
One mirror at once :eek:

Thanks & Byez . |
Check Slacky
You can download several packages from there for Slackware. I use wireshark, which is available on Slacky. |
