Using wget with proxy


I have got a proxy server through which I access Internet. When I try install some software using wget I get the following error.

How to get rid of this provided that I have my own username and password to access the Internet through proxy server?

Can you just give an example with a sample username and password?

Hi

You can supply the following variables every time in the wget command, but it's better to create a .wgetrc file in your homedir to define them once:
Code:
use_proxy = on
http_proxy= http://my-proxy:port
proxy_user=my_username
proxy_pass=my_password
See also the manpage for more options

Regards
