It didn't when I looked.

No. Plus you'd have to do it upstream in wget too. Anyway, Unix tools in general let you do stupid things if you really want, including downloading from a host through a proxy on that host, even if that doesn't work. With rpmdrake though, it's kind of doing a stupid thing for you w/out you explicitly asking it to, as it's picking up that http_proxy variable. rpmdrake should check for this. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
