Using Qubes 4.0 in Whonix 14 template

When using curl, the -x (or --proxy) parameter accepts the address
(127.0.0.1:8082) that redirects to Qubes Updates proxy over RPC, and
returns what you would expect.

But with wget (which I think is a better choice than curl), setting the
http_proxy environment variable is needed (according to 'man wget' and
web resources)


Using the following commands:

'export use_proxy=on'
'export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082'
'wget https://gitlab.com/repo/filename'

produces this output:

" Resolving gitlab.com (gitlab.com)... failed: Non-recoverable failure
in name resolution.
wget: unable to resolve host address 'gitlab.com' "


Then try a domain name that does not exist:

" Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8082... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 500 Unable to connect
2019-03-10 15:17:23 ERROR 500: Unable to connect. "


What could the problem be? curl can use 127.0.0.1:8082, why not wget?
