I had read that "su -" loads that root user environment, and just "su" works with the current user environment only. Additionally to answer your query, in both user and root the $http_proxy variable is set correctly. I have done the same modifications to the user ~/.bashrc file, ie. added the line export http_proxy="http://proxy.ibab.ac.in:3128/"; Well that's what all I did, please help me out.
