I think your idea of having the fwknop client check for the same env
variables that wget uses is a good one.  Perhaps the command line args
below should be honored first, followed by checking for the environmental
variables?

Sure, those arguments are similar to those that wget supports.

I will post a new -pre release soon that contains your other fix for
acquiring the proxy host and the end URL properly.  Here is the changeset
