@c man begin ENVIRONMENT
Wget supports proxies for both @sc{http} and @sc{ftp} retrievals. The
standard way to specify proxy location, which Wget recognizes, is using
the following environment variables:
@table @code
@table @env
@item http_proxy
@itemx https_proxy
If set, the @code{http_proxy} and @code{https_proxy} variables should
If set, the @env{http_proxy} and @env{https_proxy} variables should
contain the @sc{url}s of the proxies for @sc{http} and @sc{https}
connections respectively.
@item ftp_proxy
This variable should contain the @sc{url} of the proxy for @sc{ftp}
connections. It is quite common that @code{http_proxy} and
@code{ftp_proxy} are set to the same @sc{url}.
connections. It is quite common that @env{http_proxy} and
@env{ftp_proxy} are set to the same @sc{url}.
@item no_proxy

In addition to the environment variables, proxy location and settings
