Problem in access the internet through command line

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

Hi Folks,

I have installed Centos-6.4 in my VMware. I have enabled the proxy settings in the network and I am able to access the internet through GUI, but unable to browse via the command line. I did the below options as:
1) Added the proxy setting in /etc/environment file.

export http_proxy="http"//www.xxxx.com/xxx:80"

2) Added in the /etc/profile file:

export http_proxy="http"//www.xxxx.com/xxx:80"

but, this doesn't helped me out.

What command line web client are you using? wget, lynx,..? What error do you get? Does mozilla/firefox work?

Your proxies are wrong.

Try:

export http_proxy="http://www.xxxx.com/xxx:80"

You will have to logout and log back in for the settings to take effect.

try this way

 export http_proxy="http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@your_proxy_server:proxy_server_port"

Example :

 export http_proxy="http://akshay:nopassword@192.129.3.5:3128"

 export http_proxy="http://akshay:nopassword@myserver.org:3128"

Thanks for your replies.

Yes, I can access the webpages and download from the browser, but still can't do it with the command line.
