[plug] slightly off-topic: wget under cygwin

[David Buddrige]

Hi all, 

I have installed cygwin on my windows 2000 box to make it slightly more 
bearable.  Anyway, I am trying to use wget under this program.  Here is the 
command line I am using: 


$ wget -e http_proxy="http://perproxy:80" --proxy=on --proxy-user=myusername 
 --proxy-passwd=mypassword --no-parent --mirror http://somewebsite 

And here is the results: 


 --11:25:10--  http://somewebsite
          => `somewebsite/index.html'
Resolving perproxy... done.
Connecting to perproxy[128.129.233.25]:80... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy authentication required
11:25:11 ERROR 407: Proxy authentication required.

Does anyone know what the problem is and how to resolve it? 

thanks 

David.
