The Toolkit does not work from behind a proxy, is there any way I can get round this?
The Toolkit uses wget to retrieve files from internet. According to wget manual, you can setup wgetrc file for environment setting of wget that also includes proxy settings.
The following is done with Windows XP but other operating systems should be similar (thanks to coalee for the info):
1. Open Control panel → System → Advance tab → Environment Variables
2. Add new User variable named WGETRC with value c:\wgetrc.txt
3. Create a text file named wgetrc.txt in c:\
4. Edit file wgetrc.txt
Here is the wgetrc.txt contents it contains 2 lines:
Code:
use_proxy =
http_proxy =
codice:
http://username:password@proxyserver:port_number/
That's all… you should be able to run it behind a proxy environment.
Note:You can test whether your new environment works or not by typing set in a cmd terminal; you should see WGETRC = c:\wgetrc.txt show up.
