Hi there!

I know how to use a proxy for surfing... because I set it up the browser.

But, how can I use a proxy in, let's say -wget-?

Does wget offer some not mentioned (or not seen by me) function for using a proxy? I just saw that I could turn proxy on and off... but not, how I could tell which proxy I'd like to use...

Or is there a possibility to add any proxy into an URL? Like http://proxy.com:8000(something)www.google.com ???

Can someone help me with that? :-)

Thanks a lot!

will tell you exactly how to use wget, including how to set up a proxy.

I can't just see anything in the RFCs about putting a proxy into a URL or URI (www.rfc-editor.org); this may be possible but I've not seen it myself.

Taka a look at this post

Hm...

I just used wget --help ... I found nothing usefull there.. will check man wget...

Thanks guys!

Hi again!

defined.

For more information about the use of proxies with Wget,

-Q quota
--quota=quota
Specify download quota for automatic retrievals. The value ....................


So ... nice, eh? Could someone please post me the missing part....?

From the link I gave you:

...or just simply use this line, if you do not want to know how to format wgetrc, do not want to add to your login scripts the export line, etc...

export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:port && wget -c http://whatever

Ok, thanks guys!

I finally got want I needed :-) Thanks a lot for all your support!
