Martin, This might be a clue: when I was having initial problems with my MOS credentials, I ran both PCA [the experimental version] and wget tests [both failed]. I spent a lot of time with my proxy guy trying to figure out if the problem was proxy-related.
Finally, I got it to work using "--sshost=getupdates.oracle.com" with PCA but I was never able to get it to work with wget [1.12]. I thought that didn't make any sense: how can it work with PCA, which calls wget, but not with wget itself? Maybe this is related to what you're thinking?

It'd be nice to hear from others with proxy servers whether they have similar problems. > Now I have to figure out why this is ok with sfw and not ok with csw ... If I'm right it's a problem which I had with Sun's server in the past, and which was supposed to be fixed on Oracle's server. Seems as if it shows its head again, at least in combination with a/your proxy. The fact that wget's behaviour changed in v1.11 and onwards plays a role, too. I'll prepare a version of PCA for you to test tomorrow, which will workaround this and which should make it work with any version of wget. Martin.
