[KLUG Members] Lynx, Proxies, and illiteracy

[Adam Williams]

I've read the lynx man page oh so many times.  Set innumerable environment 
variables like PROTOCOLHTTP, PROTOCOL_HTTP_PROXY to things like 
kohocton:3128, http://kohocton:3128/, etc....  And I can't get this 
$&*()_@ 9fu7*&*($ (*&$*()@@ thing to use the proxy server,  it just beeps 
and comes back with "connection refused",  duh.... And there is nothing in 
the squidy logs to indicate it even tried.  I've set 

  lynx -pauth=iamamoron:butstillsmarterthangw http://nakedgeeks.ru/ 

etc....

Grrr.......

Anyone care to show me the obvious and simple solution to this problem,  
because at this moment I'm spending all my mental effort to convince my 
reptillian brain stem that, no, this is actually not a good time to pick 
up a club and start smashing things. (He *really* enjoys doing that).
