How do I perform an HTTP request using curl while specifying the proxy address?

Answer 1

One of the ways is:

export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port/

Then you can connect through proxy from (many) application.

This way you can connect through any applications. And for https of course use:

export https_proxy=https://your.proxy.server:port/
