[TriLUG] curl vs wget

[Joshua Gitlin]

Dan,

Any proxy servers set up? Check the man page for curl under the 
ENVIRONMENT section, maybe it is wrongly picking up a proxy server 
there that's not working...? (I'm kinda stabbing in the dark here to 
find an answer...)

No, on second thought, that wouldn't be it because curl would exit with 
(5): Couldn't resolve proxy...

Is wget configured to use a proxy? Anything interesting in 
/usr/local/etc/wgetrc, /etc/wgetrc, or ~/.wgetrc?
