First of all, I'm a bit surprised that the Phoronix Test Suite doesn't pick up the proxy information from the exported environment variables http_proxy, ftp_proxy or https_proxy.
I enter "phoronix-test-suite network-setup" in an interactive shell, respond to the prompts with the IP address (or domain name) and port number of my proxy server, but phoronix-test-suite reports that the proxy failed. Same proxy address and port work fine with apt-get/aptitude.
I'm using cntlm locally on all my test systems to redirect proxy requests to the appropriate remote proxy server and to handle NTLM authenitcation. So the proxy server domain is localhost and its IP address is 127.0.0.1. The proxy port is an arbitrary previously unused port above 1024.
Any suggestions on diagnosing why "phoronix-test-suite network-setup" is failing to work? Or suggestions for configuring phoronix-test-suite to use a proxy in the situation I've described above?
