Suricata-update needs proxy config

Hello,

My IDS systems are in a secure network and the only way they can access the internet is through a proxy. How do I configure suricata-update to use a proxy?

Found it myself.
Have configured a proxy in the profile of the user running the suricata-update process.

Do you mind sharing how you did this? My quick attempt failed.

Created a little script that is being run from my configuration engine:

#!/bin/sh
export https_proxy=“http://proxy.internal:3128
/bin/suricata-update
