[tex-live] Proxy info for install-tl?

[Karl Berry]

    I can wget any url directly because I have my proxy information
    in .wgetrc :)

Ah.  As Reinhard said, we specify our own wgetrc since there was no
other rational way to control all the necessary parameters.  Sorry.
Perhaps we should revisit that.

    Where does one specify proxy information for whatever install-tl
    is doing?

A previous user (Torsten Schuetze) reported success with the following
envvar settings, using the *_proxy environment variables that wget
supports:

export http_proxy='http://sct2si1:xxxxxxxxx@10.4.102.12:8080'
export ftp_proxy='http://sct2si1:xxxxxxxxx@10.4.102.12:8080'
export TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS='-c'

(The TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS overrides our default wget cmdline.)

Let me know if problems.  I'll add something about this to the bugs page
and/or documentation, at least.

Thanks,
Karl
