Hi Petric, |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I am not certain about git, but for subversion I had to set it in the |
| 38 |
subversion config. |
| 39 |
On my system: |
| 40 |
***** |
| 41 |
host ~ # cat ~/.subversion/servers | grep proxy |
| 42 |
http-proxy-host = proxy.mydomain.com |
| 43 |
http-proxy-port = 8080 |
| 44 |
***** |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I am guessing that a similar setting is required for git and others. |
