Using DarwinPorts behind an authenticating proxy

by antonh — last modified 07-Sep-06 11:48 AM

This is one of those things which is *so* not documented that it had to be easy. DarwinPorts uses curl to retrieve packages, and curl can be configured to use an authenticating proxy by using a ~/.curlrc file. No documentation for that either. But for those of you who where wondering, the file I used is set out below...

The file looks like this:

-U username:password
-x proxy.url:port

Simple, eh? Almost too simple you might say. Anyway, it works. And this fix should work for fink too!

DarwinPorts Proxy

For some reason this doesn't work for me. In my home directory, putting my username:password and my proxy:port still won't work in a .curlrc file.

I need help! =P
