Configuring the HTTP Proxy

When you use KooCLI to manage and access cloud resources, cloud service APIs may fail to be called due to the intranet access restriction of your company. In this case, you can use the HTTP proxy by configuring the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy.

Configuring the Environment Variable http_proxy

Run the command that matches your OS, to configure the environment variable http_proxy.

Linux or macOS
- Temporary environment variable
  Run the following command to configure http_proxy:
```
export http_proxy="http://username:password@proxyServer:port"
```
  In the preceding command, proxyServer indicates the domain name (if resolvable) or IP address of the proxy server, and port indicates the port number. Enter a username and password if required, or run the following command:
```
export http_proxy="http://proxyServer:port"
```
- Permanent environment variable
  To permanently configure http_proxy in an environment variable that takes effect only for the current user, add the following content to the ~/.bashrc file:
```
export http_proxy="http://username:password@proxyServer:port"
```
  In the preceding command, proxyServer indicates the domain name (if resolvable) or IP address of the proxy server, and port indicates the port number. Enter a username and password if required, or run the following command:
```
export http_proxy="http://proxyServer:port"
```
  After configuring the permanent environment variable, log out and log in again for the variable to take effect.
