I want to download something with wget
using a proxy:
HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1
Port: 8080
The proxy does not need username and password.
How can I do this? I checked many sites and many suggestions, but nothing worked for me...

For all users of the system via the /etc/wgetrc
or for the user only with the ~/.wgetrc
file:
use_proxy=yes
http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
https_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
or via -e
options placed after the URL:
wget ... -e use_proxy=yes -e http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080 ...
Type in command line :
$ export http_proxy=http://proxy_host:proxy_port
for authenticated proxy,
$ export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy_host:proxy_port
and then run
$ wget fileurl
for https, just use https_proxy instead of http_proxy. You could also put these lines in your ~/.bashrc file so that you don't need to execute this everytime.
the following possible configs are located in /etc/wgetrc
just uncomment and use...
# You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http, https, and ftp.
# They will override the value in the environment.
#https_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
# If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.
#use_proxy = on
wget uses environment variables somthing like this at command line can work:
export http_proxy=http://your_ip_proxy:port/
export https_proxy=$http_proxy
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
export dns_proxy=$http_proxy
export rsync_proxy=$http_proxy
export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"
After trying many tutorials to configure my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS behind a authenticated proxy, it worked with these steps:
Edit /etc/wgetrc
:
$ sudo nano /etc/wgetrc
Uncomment these lines:
#https_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
#use_proxy = on
Change http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
to http://username:password@domain:port/
IMPORTANT: If it still doesn't work, check if your password has special characters, such as
#
,@
, ... If this is the case, escape them (for example, replacepassw@rd
withpassw%40rd
).
In Ubuntu 12.x, I added the following lines in $HOME/.wgetrc
http_proxy = http://uname:passwd@proxy.blah.com:8080
use_proxy = on
In my ubuntu, following lines in $HOME/.wgetrc did the trick!
http_proxy = http://uname:passwd@proxy.blah.com:8080
use_proxy = on
In Debian Linux wget can be configured to use a proxy both via environment variables and via wgetrc. In both cases the variable names to be used for HTTP and HTTPS connections are
http_proxy=hostname_or_IP:portNumber
https_proxy=hostname_or_IP:portNumber
Note that the file /etc/wgetrc takes precedence over the environment variables, hence if your system has a proxy configured there and you try to use the environment variables, they would seem to have no effect!
In Windows - for Fiddler say - using environment variables:
set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
set https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
