proxy problems with wget

I'm trying to upgrade my realplayer package to the newest. I'm running into a problem that my http_* environment variables must not be correctly configured. I am behind a firewall here at work. I can download the file through my browser (firefox), so I know that its possible to setup correctly, but I'm just not sure how.

here's what my environment variables look like (with names stripped).

http_proxy http://xxx.xxx.xxx:80
RSYNC_PROXY xxx.xxx.xxx:80
ftp_proxy $http_proxy
https_proxy http://xxx.xxx.xxx:80 (does not work)

here's a listing from firefox's prefs.js

user_pref("network.proxy.ftp", "xxx.xxx.xxx");
user_pref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 80);
user_pref("network.proxy.gopher", "xxx.xxx.xxx");
user_pref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 80);
user_pref("network.proxy.http", "xxx.xxx.xxx");
user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 80);
user_pref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
user_pref("network.proxy.ssl", ""xxx.xxx.xxx);
user_pref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 80);

In all cases "xxx.xxx.xxx" is exactly the same string.

The question is: what am I missing?

Try using IP addresses instead of names, I know it should not make any difference:

Actually, I should mention that the problem isn't that I can't get to the proxy....
