I know apt-get and some other support http proxy's dunno of that includes https ones. They can also do user/pass, no problem there. I'm sure lynx can do http proxy too... dunno if that includes https, I guess only if you install the lynx version that can do https. I wish you much luck, I'm afraid you'll need it. ------------------------------------- New things are always on the horizon. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
