How to mine Litecoins behind a proxy on Windows?

[Ali]

I'm using cpuminer right now to mine Litecoins. I'm behind a proxy and "minerd --help" doesn't bring up any options to specify a proxy.
What am I supposed to do?

According to the libcurl documentation, setting the environment variable http_proxy should do the trick.
This seems to work well under Linux:

Code:

export http_proxy=http://proxyaddress:port/
./minerd [usual options]

I don't have a Windows box to try it on, but I'm going to guess that

Code:

set http_proxy=http://proxyaddress:port/
minerd [usual options]

will work.

It may also be useful to know that some pools (Pool-X for instance) allow mining on port 80.

Thank you. Setting the environment variable HTTP_PROXY helped. It is working now.
