Trying it out here... This proxies me to http on torproject, but then he redirects to https. No proxy configured for that protocol--so I get the page directly. (This is the same as if it redirected to, say, FTP and there was no FTP proxy.) > env https_proxy=https://127.0.0.1:8118/ lynx https://check.torproject.org/ Unless your proxy server is very different from mine, you talk to it via http, and then *it* talks SSL outward. This worked: https_proxy=http://<myproxy>:8888/ lynx https://check.torproject.org/ > env http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ lynx https://check.torproject.org/ > env http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ lynx https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ > env http_proxy=https://127.0.0.1:8118/ lynx https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ In all these you proxy one protocol, but talk to another. Note the last one has my same comment on whether you can, in fact, talk to your proxy via HTTPS/SSL. tinyproxy can't. But what I know about proxy setups is, basically, whatever I learn on the fly chasing your bug report. > Another complication that I encountered was IPv4 vs IPv6. No IPv6 here at the moment, need to set up some hardware. You may want to submit a distinct bug for the IPv6 cases, and let this bug drill down on any needed remaining details on the proxy protocol issues. I'll find some time RSN to assemble a lab IPv6 testbed. Neither of my ISP feeds supports IPv6 (darn it), but I can probably set up something sufficient to reproduce what you're seeing. Aside from IPv6, if nothing else, there's a doc issue here. https needs a specific mention in the proxy environment variable examples, and probably some words need to be added to address the kind of URL which'll work to reach a proxy. I'll read around some more on that latter issue, as I don't know what's possible (or supported by the lynx proxy code).
