Re: apt-get behind a proxy

Hello,
I have a problem with apt-get. To connect to the internet, there is an
automatic proxy configuration URL. Apt-get tries to get to the internet
without connecting to the proxy first. How do I tell apt-get to go to
that proxy before connecting to the interent.
Thank you
Michael
As far as I am aware the "automatic proxy URL" is a simple webpage which
gives the actual name/ip address and port of the proxy itself. I am not
sure if you can get it to display as you need it in a browser but if
you can manually fetch it: Open a bash prompt and type:
"wget http://website.tld/proxy.url";
without the quotes and replace http://website/proxy.url with the address
you were given.
