Set the environment variable "http_proxy" to the address and port of
the proxy, to wit:

 export http_proxy=http://some.server.dom:port/";

E.g. for my GuideScope banner filter

 export http_proxy=http://localhost:8000/";

More details are in the man page ("man lynx"), and search for
PROTOCOL_proxy.

Cheers,
