I was under the impression that setting `HTTP_PROXY` and friends would be sufficient to stand up a kURL cluster in an environment requiring a proxy for egress.

I’ve tried the following

```auto
export HTTP_PROXY=kots-field-labs-squid-proxy:3128
export HTTPS_PROXY=kots-field-labs-squid-proxy:3128
curl -sSL https://k8s.kurl.sh/dx411-dex-lab1-e6-proxy | sudo bash

```

I have verified that the `curl` without the ` | bash` returns the install script

with `| bash -x`, it stalls at this line:

```auto
++ curl -IfsSL https://kurl-sh.s3.amazonaws.com/dist/kurl-bin-utils-v2021.04.13-0.tar.gz
++ grep -i etag:
++ sed -r 's/.*"(.*)".*/\1/'
^C

```

I think this will work better if proxy info is in curl config file

```auto
$ cat ~/.curlrc
proxy = 10.128.0.3:3128
noproxy = localhost,127.0.0.1,10.96.0.0,10.0.0.0/8,10.138.0.91
```

Dmitriy’s `curlrc` answer works, or now I’ve found we probably need `sudo -E`:

> The sudo has a handy argument -E or --preserve-env which will pass all your environment variables into the sudo environment.
