[elinks-dev] http_proxy with username and password

[Simon Tan]

I exported the http_proxy variable with username and password like so: export HTTP_PROXY=http://username:password@host:port.  Wget works, but elinks is unable to get online.  Is elinks not able to parse the variable?  If I enter the options and enter the proxy, username, password, elinks works fine. I understand there might be security concerns and stuff but if I save the password into a file(don't know if it's encrypted or not), same security concerns right.

It would still be a nice feature. Could that be implemented in future versions?  Thanks.
