Thank, it works great.
If you’re in a Windows domain you have to specify the domain part of the user also – like –config http_proxy.user=DOMAIN\UserName

Confirmed that setting http_proxy environment variable works as suggested by Rob

It’s a convention in the modern Unix world that any utility creating HTTP connections should obey the “http_proxy” environment variable (and the related “no_proxy” variable).

I don’t know which HTTP library Mercurial uses, but all the major libraries support the “http_proxy” variable so it probably works just fine.

@OJ:
I haven’t tried it, but I assume that these settings work in a per-repository hgrc (.hg/hgrc). I’d expect to vary my proxy usage more by host or by network connection, though, rather
than by repository.

The problem with adding that to your hgrc file is that those settings will be in place for every repo that you want to access. This might not be exactly what you want.

If it is, then hgrc is indeed where it belongs!

Actually I didn’t! Would you just put the –config bits into that file then?

I’m sure you knew this, but you could add those configurations to your hgrc file as well.
