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
