I added that piece of code in the shell script as I assumed we'd be
using WGET from CygWin. From the lynx time already, the *NIX shells
used the all-lowercase "http_proxy" shell variable. Maybe it's using
all-uppercase values for Win32 variants not running from the CygWin
bash shell?

|

string.

As mentioned earlier, that may be a win32-ism of wget. Feel free to
change the script if it fixes the issue (I no longer work for Siemens
where I had a corporate proxy I could test with).


Do you know how to "or" this together, so both ways will work?
