apt-proxy

[Frank Langanke]

Hi.

I'd like to install several Debian-Boxes behind our company's firewall.
However for every http- or ftp-access to the internet I've to
authenticate. I got apt-get going with the following configuration, taken
from the apt.conf:

ftp
{
Proxy "ftp://firewall.company.de";

ProxyLogin
{
"USER [email]anonymous@ftp.de.debian.org[/email] firewall_user";
"PASS firewall_passwd";
"PASS anonymous";
}
};

This works for apt-get, how do I enable such a login-procedure for
apt-proxy ? I tried to set the http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables like
ftp_proxy=ftp://firewall_user:firewall_passwd@firewall.company.de/, but
with no success.

Maybe someone got an idea,

Frank.

apt-proxy just uses wget for http/ftp, so if it works with wget it should
work with apt-proxy. You need to place the http_proxy line at the bottom of
apt-proxy.conf, as shown in the example distributed with the package:

# HTTP/FTP proxy: apt-proxy uses wget to retreive files. Wget uses
# the http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables, which can be set
# like this:
#export http_proxy=http://proxy:8080/
#export ftp_proxy=http://proxy:8080/
