http_proxy problems in Windows

[neutralmind]

I keep getting errors using http_proxy. It keeps on telling me the http_proxy not know as an external or internal command. Is there anything wrong with what I used?

http_proxy=http://dormproxy.up.edu.ph:8080/ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAD5B880806EBE0A4

If I get that working is the following the correct input for having a username and password for the proxy?

http_proxy=username:password@http://dormproxy.up.edu.ph:8080/

On Windows, you can't use the syntax a=b cmd to define variables before a command. Instead, use the set command.

You can also configure the proxy server in Windows' internet settings.
