You can put this in your ~/.bashrc:
export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:3128"
export ftp_proxy="ftp://127.0.0.1:3128"
They both need to be "http://127.0.0.1:3128/"; the proxy protocol is HTTP,
hence the same scheme for each. Also https_proxy. Of course, adjusted for
whatever is correct.
I'm not sure how many utilities use it but I think wget does.
Quite a few.
However, the point of the OP was to set this at a system level as a default for
many machines, so the .bashrc is pretty much the worst place to want to put
this, being a per-user setting (and only for those using bash, and only for
settings where that is involved in invoking applications).
