[R] proxy settings

[Antonio Olinto]

Hi all,

I used to connect internet via a proxy. Before update packages I wrote in R

Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http://proxy3.redegov.sp.gov.br:80/") 

Nevertheless the way the connection is done has changed. For example, in the
browser the proxy is not indicated and I have to give an username and a
password to have access to internet.

I read the FAQ and the help for download.file but I was not able to do updates.

I tried
Sys.putenv("http_proxy_user"="ask")
Sys.putenv("http_proxy_user"="http://****:****")

Well, I use R under both Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu.

Thanks for any help.

Antonio Olinto
