Either set the environment variable "http_proxy", or use the wgetrc
option of the same name (or specify it on the command-line as "-e
http_proxy=...").

If you want to set the ftp proxy, use ftp_proxy instead.

Be aware that the man page is not the complete documentation; the
Texinfo manual (either in the form of the info page, available by typing
"info wget", or on the web) is the full documentation (and the man page
is careful to point this out).
