Nope, I can't ssh out without going through a ssh proxy (and it's a clever one and it seems to be able to kill forwarded ports).
As for the export, I can type "env | grep proxy" and I see the variable $http_proxy set with the correct URL, username, and password. But it still doesn't work. When I try I get: Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy Authentication Required 13:59:43 ERROR 407: Proxy Authentication Required. http_proxy=http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/xxproxy/ Any other ideas?
