Rustup: Download toolchains from behind a proxy

[XAMPPRocky]

I'm currently behind a proxy, and can't download any toolchains. How do you set up proxy settings with multirust?

@Aaronepower do you have http_proxy and https_proxy set up?

[XAMPPRocky]

I'm on Windows forgot to say. But I do also have those set up as env variables.

Hi,

Any news on this issue, I can't use multirust because of a enterprise proxy. Is there any workaround ?
Thanks !

Same issue here. I am on Ubuntu 15.10, 64-bit.
I have http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy set up.
multirust - the script, picks them up and the command multirust update works.
multirust-rs - the Rust application, doesn't work with the proxy.

Tried today rustup and the issue is still present.
I had issues installing it(multirust-rs was installing over multirust but it doesn't any more - another issue):

Continue? (Y/n) Y

error: toolchain 'nightly' is not installed
rustup: command failed: /tmp/tmp.pHwfFAkit0/rustup-setup

To solve the issue I had to run multirust uninstall command(I tried removing the toolchains, then the metadata, finally after removing multirust it worked).

After this, I tried to install rustup:

Continue? (Y/n)

Waiting on this too, but according to #344 this bug should be fixed shortly.

[alexcrichton]

This should now be done! With the switch to curl in https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustup.rs/pull/434 rustup should naturally pick up the relevant env vars now.

[lilianmoraru]

I'll test when I go back to work and report the results.

Just updated to latest rustup, proxies confirmed working!

[lilianmoraru]

I can confirm that the behavior seems to be the same as with cargo.

• Works through a proxy
• Doesn't work through WPAD

All tools have problems running in cmd because of WPAD, so I guess this is the expected behavior :)
