It seems to me that getenv has some "issues" on OS/2.
Workaround: use .wgetrc commands instead.
All environment variale names (i.e. the part before the '=') are uppercase
on OS/2
wget uses getenv("http_proxy"); the implementation of getenv seems to be
scanning _environ and doing a strncmp (i.e. case-sensitive comparison). If
getproxy in url.c is changed to getenv("HTTP_PROXY") then it does pick up
the environment setting.
Could we postulate that *ALL* environment vars influencing WGET be
uppercase ?
These are the places where getenv is used (excluding getopt.c)
init.c:237: tmp = getenv ("no_proxy");
init.c:259: char *home = getenv ("HOME");
init.c:292: env = getenv ("WGETRC");
url.c:1292: proxy = opt.http_proxy ? opt.http_proxy : getenv ("http_proxy");
url.c:1294: proxy = opt.ftp_proxy ? opt.ftp_proxy : getenv ("ftp_proxy");
url.c:1297: proxy = opt.https_proxy ? opt.https_proxy : getenv ("https_proxy");
