Chapter 9. Modifying the configuration of the command-line assistant

Procedure

1. Access the proxy configuration by opening the /etc/xdg/command-line-assistant/config.toml configuration file.

2. Locate and change the following block in the config.toml file :

   # Backend settings for communicating with the external API.
   [backend]
   ...
   # proxies = { http = "http://example-host:8002", https = "https://example-host:8002" }

3. Uncomment the proxies key and define your http or https proxy host:

   [backend]
   …
   # For a https proxy host
   proxies = { https = "https://<your_https_proxy_host:1234>"}

4. After making the changes, restart clad for the changes to be effective:

   $ sudo systemctl restart clad

   Note

   You can use the http value and https key control whether clad routes http or https traffic to the specified proxy. However, the protocol does not influence proxy type selection, and you can configure an http proxy for https traffic. For example:

   +

   https = "http://<your_https_proxy_host:1234>"
