wget with proxy,but authenticate fail

willie118 · 07-09-2007, 03:09 AM

My workplace has just put in a proxy server, which each user needs to log into to be able to access the web.

If I open firefox after I have put in the proxy server details it prompts me to enter a username and password. I put these in and all works fine.

However if I try and wget a file it won't work. I use wget daily and need to keep using it.

I have edited the .wgetrc file and added the following...

http_proxy = 192.168.10.33:8080

use_proxy = on

proxy-user = myaccount
proxy-passwd = mypasswd

Each time I try and wget a file I get this...

[root@mylinux ~]# wget http://definition.symantec.com/defs/...08-007-unix.sh
--14:28:54-- http://definition.symantec.com/defs/...08-007-unix.sh
Connecting to 192.168.10.33:8080... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. )
14:28:54 ERROR 407: Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. ).

Can anyone please help me?
Thanks alot.

Note that in newer versions of wget the "proxy-passwd" has changed to "proxy-password"

Change also this to be a URL:

Code:

http_proxy = http://192.168.10.33:8080

and see if it works

Maybe the format of proxy-user and proxy-password is wrong.

Run wget from the command line using the "-d" and "-v" options to see if you find what is wrong. Prior of doing this rename .wgetrc to something else so it will not be used.

When I said you to run wget from cli, I meant to use the proxy-related options in your wget command plus -d and -v for debugging. Anyway from the output it seems that there this is a problem between wget and ISA proxy. Doing a little googling I've found this post. Try the 2 solutions proposed and see if you can connect.

Regards

Thank you very much!

I try the first solution with ntlmaps and connect successful.

Ntlmaps is a very useful program. The symantec antivirus was not able to update virus definition with liveupdate. Now,through ntlmaps contact ISA it liveupdate ok.

My English is poor, sometimes mybe use the CHINESE ENGLISH.thank you for your patience.

Best regards!
