Hi,

I have a wget authentication problem with a proxy server for setting
up 'apt-get'.

I edited ~/.wgetrc in my user home directory such that it includes the
following line.
http_proxy = http://user:passwd@my.proxy.net:8080/

Notation:
1. user is username for the proxy server
2. passwd is the password for the user in proxy server
3. my.proxy.net is the proxy server's address
4. 8080 is the port number for the proxy server


Then I get the following errors.

soohyunc at apollo:~$ wget

Could someone direct me the right position to get it work?
Thanks,
