Public bug reported: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04
Not sure what packages are involved, but considering quite a few items use wget internally (flash plugin, i think) this could be high priority System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy Manual Proxy, same for all protocols proxy.mydomain.com:3128 Ignored Hosts localhost 127.0.0.0/8 *.local This sets the following environment variables: $ env | grep -i proxy NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local, http_proxy=http://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128 ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ all_proxy=socks://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ ALL_PROXY=socks://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ https_proxy=https://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local, With these settings wget fails to download: $ wget http://apache.mirror.aussiehq.net.au/ant/binaries/apache- ant-1.8.1-bin.zip This just hangs (we are behind a proxy) Changing any/all proxy options in /etc/wgetrc DOES NOT FIX THIS. I've traced the problem to the spurious "," at the end of environment variable no_proxy i.e. the following works (remove the trailing ',') $ export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local $ wget http://apache.mirror.aussiehq.net.au/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.zip ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: proxy wget ** Description changed: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 Not sure what packages are involved, but considering quite a few items use wget internally (flash plugin, i think) this could be high priority System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy Manual Proxy, same for all protocols proxy.mydomain.com:3128 Ignored Hosts localhost 127.0.0.0/8 *.local This sets the following environment variables: $ env | grep -i proxy NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local, - http_proxy=http://proxy.contecint.com.au:3128 - ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.contecint.com.au:3128/ - all_proxy=socks://proxy.contecint.com.au:3128/ - ALL_PROXY=socks://proxy.contecint.com.au:3128/ - https_proxy=https://proxy.contecint.com.au:3128/ + http_proxy=http://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128 + ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ + all_proxy=socks://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ + ALL_PROXY=socks://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ + https_proxy=https://proxy.mydomain.com.au:3128/ no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local, With these settings wget fails to download: $ wget http://apache.mirror.aussiehq.net.au/ant/binaries/apache- ant-1.8.1-bin.zip This just hangs (we are behind a proxy) Changing any/all proxy options in /etc/wgetrc DOES NOT FIX THIS.
