Now most browsers know this and when using proxy won't try to resolve the address by themselves. Unfortunately wget and others like ftp don't seem to have knowledge about this. So when i ask wget to fetch an address it tries to resolve the domain name first without even consulting proxy _even_if_ http_proxy variable is set. Which basically
Try
$ wget -e http_proxy=<ip> <url>
address. But there is no way in linux to reroute th system dns request
to http_proxy :-(.
