seems like nobody cares...
just for the record (and just in case someone has the same problem in the future and finds this post)...

in the meantime I found this info

hmmm... my password includes a '@' sign... couldn't find a way to escape it under Windows :|

Any chance/plans for having a own command line option (switch) for "-x | --proxy" as used with CURL...

I've just pushed a commit to git master, which should allow using a proxy by setting the "http_proxy" environment variable, e.g.:

export http_proxy="http://1.2.3.4:8080"
dub

Thank, it's work.

Tested for Ubuntu and proxy with authorization:

  • Add to ~/.profile:
    export http_proxy="http://user:password@1.2.3.4:8080"
  • logout, login
  • dub upgrade
