Hi!

i've got a problem with my new installed gentoo system connecting through a http proxy.
i can ping the proxy and for example resolve hostnames (no proxy is used for this)
i typed
Code:
 export http_proxy="http://ip:port"

but wget just gives me an "Aborted".
emerging works when not downloading from http.
for ftp and rsync no proxy is used.

when i boot from the livecd on the same system, just configuring the interface and typing
Code:
 export http_proxy="http://ip:port"
http works fine.

any ideas what i've done wrong?

Known bug with the current wget ebuild/patch set:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33827

Changing to a hostname instead of an ip in the http_proxy fixed things for me.

Thnx!
I had the same issue, emerge-webrsync stopped working and with -v it gave lots of aborted errors.
I re-emerged wget 1.8.2 and its fine again.
