Thanks but why do we need curl? Wget respects proxy settings from the 
"http(s)_proxy" environment variables so this issue appears to be merely 
incorrect proxy configuration on your system. Also you should be able to set 
wget proxy settings in "/etc/wgetrc" or in "~/.wgetrc" and no patching would 
be necessary...

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate,
contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and
unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the
discomfort of thought.
