As of version 1.10.2, "net-misc/wget" does not mention in "/etc/wgetrc" that a config option "https_proxy" is supported. However, it does appear to support that option, since when I add it to my "wgetrc" file, wget starts making HTTPS requests properly over my HTTP proxy. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. su 2. nano /etc/wget/wgetrc 3. add line "http_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8118/" 4. wget https://www.gentoo.org 5. observe that it connects directly 6. su 7. nano /etc/wget/wgetrc 8. add line "https_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8118/" 9. wget https://www.gentoo.org 10. observe that it tries using a proxy, as intended Actual Results: wget https://www.gentoo.org --15:53:47-- https://www.gentoo.org/ => `index.html' Resolving www.gentoo.org... 209.177.148.228, 209.177.148.229 Connecting to www.gentoo.org|209.177.148.228|:443... Expected Results: wget https://www.gentoo.org --15:58:35-- https://www.gentoo.org/ => `index.html' Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8118... connected. If wget is intended to support a separate "https_proxy" variable, it seems wise to document that in the default "wgetrc" template and possibly even mention in the man page.
We do not write documentation for packages, this is a wrong place to report such things... http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/#requests
