lynx-dev proxy env var

[Nitin Gupta]

Does lynx take a env. var for the proxy server? in the lynx.cfg file, I set
the proxy server to my.proxy.server and all works fine, but sometimes I need
not to use the proxy server so I commented out the var from the cfg file and
tried setting the http_proxy env. var but it never works! whenever I export
http_proxy="my.proxy.server", lynx comes back saying that it couldn't find
the page. but the same server setting in the cfg file makes everything work
fine.

I'm trying to set up a script which takes in user input and dynamically
set's/unsets the lynx proxy var, is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
