I finally got curl installed and "fixed". The problem with both is our proxy server obviously doesn't handle "basic" proxy authentication. There's a curl option that's something like --any_authentication that tries all different kinds of auth. That finally got me through.
I have been only trying from the command line so far (early in setup). I'm sure there are more challenges ahead when I get to cron.
Thanks!

Does rules_du_jour run from the command line OK, but not via cron? If
so, one problem you *may* be experiencing is that the cron program runs
jobs with NO ENVIRONMENT by default. Does wget look to
/usr/local/etc/wgetrc by default?
One thing you could try is forcing the wget parameters --proxy-user and
--proxy-password into the wget parameters variable in your RDJ config
file. The default WGET_OPTS is "-N", so if you are OK with putting a
password in a config file, you could add this to your RDJ config:
WGET_OPTS="-N --proxy-user=foo --proxy-password=bar"
