I realise that I may not have provided enough information to get an 
answer to this...

I've tried this using the latest version (1.10.2) on Debian Linux 3.1
However, I've also tried with a variety of earlier versions on other 
platforms and it looks as though it has never worked on any platform.

If anybody knows if this is a bug or something that just can't/won't be 
fixed, I'd be very, very grateful for an answer. We use wget a lot, and 
it's just perfect for our needs. However, some of our customers are 
stuck behind a proxy and can't use the scripts we've developed that use 
wget because of this problem.

Thanks,
David
