For lynx you need to set the environment variable "http_proxy" to
the HTTP proxy server (don't forget the "http://" at the start)
and "ftp_proxy" for a FTP proxy etc. If the proxy server requires
authorization you need the '-pauth' command line option, i.e. use
'-pauth=ID:PASSWD". See the man page, when you search pro "proxy"
you will find all the details. Since I have no idea what "konstruct"
is I can't you help there.
