Well. They are not going to fix the SLES 9 wget bug. :-(

%%% begin clipping from Novell support %%%

This issue has been investigated by our developers and they have concluded
it is not feasible to develop a patch to provide SLES9's wget with proper
HTTPS proxy support (using the HTTP "CONNECT" method). Upgrading SLES9's
wget is not an option either, as the newer versions have different command
line options, so customer scripts relying on wget (perhaps including fou4s)
would be broken.

We recommend you help your customers to switch to YOU as their update
mechanism, at least until a curl-based version of fou4s is available.

%%%  end  clipping from Novell support %%%
