[mythtv-users] http_proxy settings

[James Webster]

I'm running my KnoppMyth box behind a proxy server for web access.  I 
can't get MythTV (or the fvwm session into which I drop after exit from 
MythTV) to register the necessary http_proxy variable.  I've tried 
putting the appropriate lines in /etc/profile, ~/.profile and even 
~/.xprofile, which is what I am used to doing.  When I drop to the 
console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and log in as root, http_proxy has been 
registered --- clearly it's being picked up from /etc/profile.  Any 
help on how I can set an environment variable, and http_proxy 
particularly for MythTV (otherwise I can't use all those great web 
features such as IMDB information searches)?
