wget encounter error "Error parsing proxy URL xxx Unsupported scheme 'socks5'"

In my .bashrc, i configure the proxy like this

export http=http://127.0.0.1:8000
export https=http://127.0.0.1:8000

export http_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
export https_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

export ALL_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

and when i use wget to download some file, i encounter this error:

Error parsing proxy URL socks5://127.0.0.1:1080: Unsupported scheme ‘socks5’.

Actually i don’t know the reason behind this, but i find one solution that can solve this problem

Solution-tsocks

we can use a tscocks to make wget use proxy

1. install tsocks

   arch linux:

   sudo pacman -S tsocks
   

   ubuntu:

   sudo apt install tsocks
   

2. modifty configure file of tsocks

   my /etc/tsocks.conf doesn’t exist, so we need copy file from /usr/share/tsocks/tsocks.conf.simple.example

   sudo cp /usr/share/tsocks/tsocks.conf.simple.example /etc/tsocks.conf 
   

   modify the content of /etc/tsocks.conf as follows

   # This is the configuration for libtsocks (transparent socks)
   # Lines beginning with # and blank lines are ignored
   #
   # This sample configuration shows the simplest (and most common) use of
   # tsocks. This is a basic LAN, this machine can access anything on the
   # local ethernet (192.168.0.*) but anything else has to use the SOCKS version
   # 4 server on the firewall. Further details can be found in the man pages,
   # tsocks(8) and tsocks.conf(5) and a more complex example is presented in
   # tsocks.conf.complex.example
   
   # We can access 192.168.0.* directly
   # local = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
   
   # Otherwise we use the server
   server = 127.0.0.1
   # Server type defaults to 4 so we need to specify it as 5 for this one
   server_type = 5
   # The port defaults to 1080 but I've stated it here for clarity 
   server_port = 1080
   

3. unset your proxy environment variable

   unset https_proxy
   

4. add tsocks before wget

   tsocks wget ...
   

Done~~

Reference

1. linux shell走socks5代理

2. wget socks5 代理

3. wget:不支持的协议类型 “socks5”
