wget is working only when used with sudo
- by Yusuf
I'm having quite a strange behavior with wget since yesterday.
I can download files by using sudo wget, but when I try the same file with only wget, I can get this error:
yusufh@ubuntu-yuh:~$ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
--2010-12-17 09:34:11-- http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Resolving www.kegel.com... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `www.kegel.com'
and with sudo wget:
yusufh@ubuntu-yuh:~$ sudo wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
--2010-12-17 09:35:37-- http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

After the comments below, here is an update:
I can use Google Chrome or Firefox perfectly without running it as root.
I use ntlmaps to connect to the office proxy. So I need to use 127.0.0.1:5865 as the proxy for clients.
Result for env | grep -i proxy:
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local,
http_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865
ftp_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865
all_proxy=socks://127.0.0.1:5865/
ALL_PROXY=socks://127.0.0.1:5865/
https_proxy=127.0.0.1:5865
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local
while sudo env | grep -i proxy is empty!
HELP!
