If all you really want is to get this to work then I should mention that
Wget appears to want lowercase (http_proxy rather than HTTP_PROXY) as
well as wanting the USE PROXY set to "on"  in the .wgetrc file. You
could script your various rc files to change case,  or you could just
set the proxy in the .wgetrc file and get on with your life.  I'm not
the supporter of this package so I can't be more help than that.

Subject: wget and HTTP_PROXY question

I can't fetch anything from the web using wget (Connection timed out).
My guess is that it has to do with the proxy settings, but:

- my environment variable HTTP_PROXY is set, and
- from a Windows command line (i.e. outside of Cygwin), tools (such as
the package manager of ActiveState Perl) *can* use the proxy specified
here, without problems.

What can I do to get wget working?

Ronald
