It looks as if the above two options are missing from the default
/etc/wgetrc as well as from the man page on Red Hat 7.1 !!!!!

However in Changelog it shows this :

1997-02-17  Hrvoje Niksic  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * wget.texi (Advanced Options): Document --proxy-user and
        --proxy-passwd.

These options are there in wget since 1997. 

[root@ho wget-1.6]# wget --help|grep proxy
  -Y,  --proxy=on/off           turn proxy on or off.
       --proxy-user=USER     set USER as proxy username.
       --proxy-passwd=PASS   set PASS as proxy password.
[root@ho wget-1.6]# 

Peace
