Answer 2

Go programs understand environment variables http_proxy and no_proxy, but that's not enough because go get uses source control managers for retrieving code. So you have to set HTTP proxy settings for your SCM too. Use this for Mercurial and this for Git.

http_proxy value can be like http://user:password@host:port/. User, password, and port parts are optional. no_proxy is a comma-separated list of servers that should not be connected through proxy. Its value can be like foo.com,bar.net:4000.

You can set these environment variables in your bash_profile, but if you want to limit their usage to go, you can run it like this:

$ http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080 go get code.google.com/p/go.crypto/bcrypt

If that's what you always want, set this alias to avoid typing proxy part every time:

$ alias go='http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080 go'

From now on you can use go normally, but it uses your HTTP proxy.

you can also map http requests to socks5 traffic by using https://github.com/cyfdecyf/cow/

very handy if you are blocked by GFW

Answer 4

This works for me:

alias go='http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1081/ https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1081/ no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,::1 go'

Note: for someones, protocol may be different https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:1081

You may want check https://github.com/hmgle/graftcp,

$ graftcp-local/graftcp-local -h
Usage of graftcp-local/graftcp-local:
  -config string
        Path to the configuration file
  -listen string
        Listen address (default ":2233")
  -logfile string
        Write logs to file
  -loglevel value
        Log level (0-6) (default 1)
  -pipepath string
        Pipe path for graftcp to send address info (default "/tmp/graftcplocal.fifo")
  -service string
        Control the system service: ["start" "stop" "restart" "install" "uninstall"]
  -socks5 string
        SOCKS5 address (default "127.0.0.1:1080")
  -syslog
        Send logs to the local system logger (Eventlog on Windows, syslog on Unix)

If you already have shadowsocks listening on 1080, then you don't need provide any paramaters, just run graftcp-local, to proxy go get

$ ./graftcp go get -v golang.org/x/net/proxy

Answer 6

Add GOPROXY variable name and Variable value as your proxy in the System variable. This worked for me.
