I am behind a passworded proxy. I can connect to the Internet using Firefox, Chrome or even Synaptic. But when I set the bash environment variable as:
export http_proxy=http://user:password@proxy_address
and try to download the files using wget like bizip2 or debian packages I get 404 error and with the pure domain names like www.google.com (http://www.google.com/) or www.kde.org (http://www.kde.org/) I just get the default proxy password change page as output file.
What is the problem. I even tried changing the user-agent of wget or supplying the proxy user and password through its command options.
