Proxy Settings

HTTP/FTP
HTTP and FTP transports can be configured with the environment variables:

$ export http_proxy=proxyhost:port $ export ftp_proxy=proxyhost:port

Some internal hosts don't need to go through the proxy:

$ export no_proxy=host1,host2

Subversion
Subversion/svn proxy is configured in  file:

[global] http-proxy-host = proxyhost http-proxy-port = port

git
git needs a helper application/script to work through the proxy. One needs to create such script, following this example:

PROXYHOST=proxyhost PROXYPORT=port (echo "CONNECT $1:$2 HTTP/1.0"; echo; cat ) | /usr/bin/nc $PROXYHOST $PROXYPORT | (read a; read a; cat )
 * 1) !/bin/sh

In order for git to use the above script,  environment variable needs to point to it:

$ export GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=/path/to/git-proxy.sh
