Use wget with Squid Proxy Server

Use wget with Squid Proxy Server

To use the "wget" command with a Squid proxy server, you need to set the "http_proxy" environment variable to the URL of the proxy server. "wget" is a command-line utility that allows you to download files from the web, and the "http_proxy" environment variable specifies the URL of the HTTP proxy server to use when downloading files.

To use "wget" with a Squid proxy server, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal and type the following command:
r‮:ot refe‬lautturi.com
export http_proxy=http://proxy_server:port

Replace "proxy_server" with the hostname or IP address of the proxy server, and "port" with the port number of the proxy server.

  1. To download a file using "wget" with the proxy server, type the following command:
wget http://url

Replace "url" with the URL of the file you want to download.

  1. "wget" will download the file using the specified proxy server.

With these steps, you should be able to use "wget" with a Squid proxy server by setting the "http_proxy" environment variable. Consult the documentation of "wget" and Squid for more information on how to use these utilities.
