To Set HTTP Proxy Preferences

To set HTTP proxy preferences, you modify the values of the preference keys in the /system/http_proxy/ location. For example, to set a mandatory value for the HTTP proxy host, run the following command:

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /system/http_proxy/host proxy-name

To set a default value for the HTTP proxy host, run the following command:

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type string --set /system/http_proxy/host proxy-name

You can also set other HTTP proxy-related preferences. For information on the other HTTP proxy preferences, see the system_http_proxy.schemas schema definition file.
