You are correct. All the man page says is http_proxy = STRING, and
I wasn't sure what was supposed to go into STRING. Then I noticed the
WARNING on the man page that says the information is "well out of
date" so I took a look at the info documentation and found good
examples there. Also found that the default location for wgetrc
has changed. Lesson learned: check info as well as man....
Thanks,
