This will automatically set the proxy variables when you launch a bash shell. At any time you can type proxy_off to disable them.

You may need to hardcode your password, proxy server, and proxy port on line 11. Just replace each $VAR_NAME with the actual value.

Put this file in your home directory. Make sure the file is called .bashrc with nothing before the dot — if you're on Windows, try saving it from a decent text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ as Explorer will not let you name a file in this way.

But .bashrc will not be called by default for login shells of macos rite, so how can this be enforced to load when each time the shell is loaded?

It seems the curl uses the http_proxy with lower case environment variable, maybe that should be included.

I'm pretty sure you can put something like this in your .bash_profile to make sure .bashrc gets called when you launch your terminal

test -f ~/.bashrc && . ~/.bashrc
