That worked-- I set it in /etc/init.d/approx. (I'm not sure why I was thinking that the daemon wouldn't get a full copy of the environment.) Rather than reinventing the wheel, maybe it would be a better idea to source an /etc/defaults/approx file to get environment variables? That way, if libcurl adds other options, approx users could just change their defaults file. You could just point users to the libcurl documentation for proxy setup. -- Charles Lepple
