Title: Update Avast through university proxy
Post by: bayan on November 30, 2010, 02:08:25 PM

I just installed avast free on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit and I get an error: Downloaded update is corrupted, try again. I'm guessing it's because I'm trying to update through a proxy but i can't seem to find the proxy settings for avast. Can anyone tell me how to configure the proxy or at least where the proxy configuration file is?

Hallo, avast4workstation just downloads file from the web. So, proxy setting is the same as for the layer which is used here - the curl library. So, setting http_proxy environment variable to something like:

SET http_proxy=http://[[username[:password]@]hostname[:port]

does the job. parts in [ ] aren't mandatory
