What do you mean? I think you misunderstood my question, I've head that the w3m-browser is good, though I have to use proxies for http. Under "links", I can simply press escape, and then set it up for proxies. Under w3m, I'm not aware of such an option. I was wonder if I have to edit a *.conf-file, or if it's just not supported.

TIA

do you mean w3m? I think error27's talking about the WWW Convention as you subject implies.

How do I specify a proxy server?
Set the environment variable HTTP_PROXY or use the option setting panel ("o" key). For example, if you want to use port 8000 of proxy.hogege.com, specify
http://proxy.hogege.com:8000/

Try here (http://w3m.sourceforge.net/).

how can i specify that in w3m? i have the option "w3m -no-proxy" but not "w3m -proxy=http://proxyurl :port/
what "o" key? when i type "o", nothing happens.. where do i have to use the "o" key?

I couldn't tell you anymore as I've never used it. I'm just posting what I found on the w3m site. Have you been to the w3m site and performed a google/linux (http://www.google.com/linux) search? :p

a search on google brought me too http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/doc/w3m/MANUAL.html which says the following:
w3m -pauth username:password
Set username and password for (basic) proxy authentication.
though, i don't have a username&pass, i have a manuel proxy config (http://proxy.provider.com:port & ftp://proxy.provider.com:port) and an automatic configuration url (http://automatic.config.url:port)
so now, i don't anything else.. but maybe you ppl knows what i can do with that*?*

If you're using bash, you can specify the HTTP_PROXY variable by typing export HTTP_PROXY="hostname :portnumber" at the bash prompt. Or, add that line to your ~/.bash_profile and then source ~/.bash_profile.
Once you have w3m started you can type "o" to bring up the option-setting panel, where you can also specify the proxy server's address and port number.
