Curl and Wget For Proxying

Curl has many proxy options.Simply
curl -x proxyhost:port -U proxyuser(if any) www.example.com
It has also socks proxy support which wget doesnt
curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:9999 www.example.com

When it comes to wget
http_proxy = http://proxyhost:port/
use_proxy = on
wait = 15
suchsettings on .wgetrc makes it work with the proxy.
