Next time I'll remember to read the info page as well, and not rely on a
man page on a piece of GNU software.. ;-)

These are available using command line arguments as well as wgetrc
commands.

`--proxy-user=USER'
`--proxy-passwd=PASSWORD'
     Specify the username USER and password PASSWORD for authentication
     on a PROXY server. Wget will encode them using the `basic'
     authentication scheme.

But I did learn how to encode basic authorization using perl, which I
needed in my small testsuite anyway.
