How to use "apt-get" via "Http-proxy" like this?

Solution 1:

To use apt-get through a proxy, either make a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ called proxy or something that you'll recognise, or make (if it doesn't exist) /etc/apt/apt.conf and insert the following line:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:[email protected]:port/";

Simply replace username and password with your login details, and replace proxy.server:port with the correct address (in your case, 10.114.7.7:80), so your line will end up something like this:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:[email protected]:80";

If you're required to use the @ symbol in your username, you'll have to escape it with a backslash ([email protected])

While escaping characters by using the backlash does not work (e.g. \@ in export and wget), special characters can be escaped with URL encoding. For instance, username:my@[email protected]:port becomes username:my%[email protected]:port. See this list of URL-encoded characters for more information.

Solution 2:

This should solve your problem:

export http_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:80/

Solution 3:

Alternatively, you can place the following in /etc/apt/apt.conf

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.server.port:8080";

8080 is the port number and I think is standard.

Don't forget the quotes or the trailing semicolon.
