Update behind MS-ForeFront

Post by billyb »

Behind the forefront-proxy, the call /usr/local/sbin/EFA-Update -check answers :
[EFA] Getting latest version number from http://dl.efa-project.org
ERROR: The version file downloaded does not seem to be valid.
ERROR: exiting now

Normally, I help myself with such proxy statements like this in /etc/bashrc:
export http_proxy=http://user:pwd@ip:port. So I can access the internet from bash.

but EFA-Update -check won´t work.
Any help?

No way to go around the proxy with an exception?

I think wget, yum, and friends have different ways of setting the proxy.
