Hi Kevin,

That's great, thanks, solved my problem perfectly....for now :)

I can successfully do a wget on any URL and I can update / install packages
with apt-get, however, the IMDB search in Myth doesn't do anything.  It
tells me onscreen that it's searching IMDB, but as far as the proxy server
is concerned, Myth hasn't even started a session.

Any ideas? Does the IMDB system use a different method to download pages?


Yeah, IMDB is using a Perl script. I believe there is a global Config.pm or similar file that you can set the http_proxy variable in so that the normal Perl HTTP requests use the proxy. I think this is provided by a module called LWP. You can probably google "Config.pm http_proxy LWP" and find information on how to do this.

Kevin
