| # LuaRocks through a proxy |
|
|
| LuaRocks performs network access through either helper applications (typically |
| `curl` on macOS, or `wget` on other platforms), or using built-in modules |
| LuaSocket and LuaSec. All of them use the same method to configure proxies: |
| the `http_proxy`, `https_proxy` and `ftp_proxy` environment variables. |
|
|
| ## Environment variable example |
|
|
| On Unix systems, you can set the `http_proxy` environment variable like |
| this: |
|
|
| export http_proxy=http://server:1234 |
| |
| On Windows systems, the command syntax is: |
|
|
| set http_proxy=http://server:1234 |
| |
| ## Git |
|
|
| If you are behind a firewall that blocks the `git://` protocol, you may |
| configure your Git to use HTTPS instead. The solution is to tell Git to always |
| use HTTPS instead of `git://` by running the following command: |
|
|
| git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// |
| |
| This adds the following to your `~/.gitconfig`: |
|
|
| [url "https://"] |
| insteadOf = git:// |
| |
