You'll most likely still need to have the http_proxy environment variable
set, depending on whether your site forces you to access the outside world
via a local web proxy/cache though. A convenient way to achieve this on
many LINUX distributions is to create files:
/etc/profiles.d/http_proxy.sh:
declare -x http_proxy=<your.proxy.here:port>
/etc/profiles.d/http_proxy.csh:
setenv http_proxy <your.proxy.here:port>
so that you don't have to remeber to do it manually all the time. This is
also a handy place to create files that set the environment variables for
analysis etc.
