Hi,

why wget always tries to resolv the domainname locally when it should use a proxy?

wget http://google.de -Y on

opkg update works via proxy without local dns-resolving!

Uh, I must set it via export!

export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8080"

Then it's also not necessary to use wget's flag -Y on
Btw, http_proxy is case sensitiv - on Backfire 10.03.1 it must be lowercase!
