I cannot get wget to go through our proxy server (a joint http/ftp proxy) when using a userid:passwd@... format -- and receive this error: Connecting to cache.uct.ac.za:8080... connected! Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 401 Unauthorized Authorization failed. *HOWEVER* -- I can get curl (http://curl.haxx.se) to do it with the -p switch which the curl docs describe as: -p/--proxytunnel When an HTTP proxy is used, this option will cause non-HTTP protocols to attempt to tunnel through the proxy instead of merely using it to do HTTP-like operations. The tunnel approach is made with the HTTP proxy CONNECT request and requires that the proxy allows direct connect to the remote port number curl wants to tunnel through to. Is there any way to have wget do the same?? I would use curl except it does not do recursive gets, and becomes clumsy to use. At our institution, not using the cache results in highly reduced bandwidth availability! Any ideas from anybody? thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Assoc. Prof. Bruce C. Hewitson Ph: +27 21 650 2878 | | Dept. Environmental & Geographical Sc.
