Shadowsocks provide the socks5, so if we want to use http proxy, it need some convertion.
First run polipo with parent proxy set to Shadowsocks:
apt-get install polipo service polipo stop polipo socksParentProxy=localhost:1080If for Mac
brew install polipo polipo socksParentProxy=localhost:1080 &
Then you can play with the HTTP proxy:
http_proxy=http://localhost:8123 apt-get update http_proxy=http://localhost:8123 curl www.google.com http_proxy=http://localhost:8123 wget www.google.com git config --global http.proxy 127.0.0.1:8123 git clone https://github.com/xxx/xxx.git git xxx git xxx git config --global --unset-all http.proxy
