Thanks,

I completely overlooked the .wgetrc file that let me configure
http_proxy, proxy-user, and proxy-password.

I ran:

wget -nd --delete-after http://www.indo.com/culture/dance_music.html

and the page was loaded into the squid cache, i.e.,

<snip from squid cache using purge>
/usr/local/orsquid/var/cache/00/00/00000012 0 21144
http://www.indo.com/culture/dance_music.html
<snip>

wget returned:

<snip>
100%[===================================================================>]
20,770 36.49K/s

11:35:08 (36.45 KB/s) - `dance_music.html' saved [20770/20770]
<snip>

and then I ran the same command, wget -nd --delete-after
http://www.indo.com/culture/dance_music.html to see if wget would then
puul from cache, and got:

<snip>
100%[===================================================================>]
20,770 --.--K/s

11:36:19 (89.22 MB/s) - `dance_music.html' saved [20770/20770]
<snip>

So I assume that the --.--K/s in the second run indicates that wget did
pull from the squid cache, right?

Thanks,
