Here's a command file I use here to run wget through our firewall/proxy.

PARM quiet="Y",url="http://www.destinationURLhere.com"

setvar localf "./JUNK"

if "!quiet"<>"N" then
  setvar _quiet "-q "
 else
  setvar _quiet ""
endif

setvar webproxy "firewall.acme.com"

continue
purge !localf > $NULL
purge URLF,temp > $NULL
purge URLF > $NULL
echo !url > URLF
save URLF

setvar inp "!_quiet-O !localf -i ./URLF"

if "!webproxy"<>"" then

  echo export http_proxy=!webproxy                      > INP2
  echo /SYS/UTIL/WGET !inp                              >> INP2
  echo exit                                             >> INP2

  xeq sh.hpbin.sys < INP2

 else

  WGET.UTIL.SYS "!inp"

endif

continue
purge ERRORF,temp  > $NULL
purge INP,TEMP     > $NULL
purge INP2,TEMP    > $NULL
purge URLF         > $NULL
purge !localf      > $NULL

                Subject:        [HP3000-L] Seeking help with WGET

                Gentle Listers:

                I tried WGET for the first time today however when I attempt
to connect to
                JAZZ, it eventually times out.  I am able to ftp from the
3000 to JAZZ.  I
                suspect a network/gateway/DNS problem, but I do not know
where to start.
                Would someone please kind enough to get me started?  What
should I look at
                first?

                Thank you.

                Jim McIntosh
