I have never had to work with a proxy, but I can tell you you need an
'export' to properly set any environment variable so it can be used by
other programs.

Try:

# export http_proxy="...

OR

# http_proxy="...
# export http_proxy

Oh, and in this is your login to the proxy, it is not strictly in the
http URL, so it should not need to be encoded using %20 for the space.
Though that is dependent on the proxy, so I would try it both ways.

Good luck!
