Hello,

No, wget is not configured to use a proxy. This would certainly cause
wget
to retrieve through the proxy, but it wouldn't be the ideal solution.
My specific usage case is that I am using Squid as a package cache, but
not
for anything else. Everyday web use goes directly to the web, aptitude and
apt connections go first through the Squid proxy. It would be nice if wget
invoked by apt/aptitude would use the same proxy as they do.
I didn't notice this right away b/c it is on wget's info page rather
than man
page, but wget has command line options to specify a proxy. I don't know how
easy it would be to get apt's proxy info from apt, but once the install
script had that, the wget command line should be easy to create:
(http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Proxies.html)
`proxy = on/off'
This option and the corresponding command may be used to suppress
the use of proxy, even if the appropriate environment variables
are set.
`http_proxy = URL'
`https_proxy = URL'
`ftp_proxy = URL'
These startup file variables allow you to override the proxy
settings specified by the environment.
Thanks!
C.
