How to set a proxy server for connecting to the internet in Lynx?
8,378
I couldn't figure out how to edit my original post nor could I figure out how to reply to your comment. So i am just going to respond with another answer.
There are two common methods for setting windows environment variables:
- Through the Control Panel
- Through the Command line
Through the Control Panel
I would follow this link for instructions (its pretty easy): http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/environment_variables.mspx?mfr=true
Through the Command line
To get to the command line Click on:
Start > Run... > Type 'cmd' > Enter
In the new black command line type:
set http_proxy=http://myproxyaddress.com
Hit Enter.

I am using Lynx on Windows Vista. I need to go through a proxy server to connect to the internet.
I cannot find the option to specify the proxy settings for Lynx :(

user882903 over 14 years@arajek how do you set environment variables in Windows XP? I guess the process won't be too different.
