Hi, I am experiencing an issue with HTTPS proxy authentication using the wget2(version 2.2.0) command. While HTTP proxy authentication and unauthenticated HTTPS proxy connections are working as expected, authentication is failing specifically for HTTPS.
Could you please review the command options I am using below and let me know if they are correct, or if this is a known issue? *# wget2 --http-proxy-user="test_qa" --http-proxy-password="password" --https-proxy=http://[2001::1]:3128 --timeout=30 --tries=3 --no-check-certificate https://[2002::2]/./script -O /home/backup* *Cannot create progress bar thread.
