>Description:
I'm trying to use webcopy to grab a copy of some stuff from a remote
website; however, I can't seem to get it to do ANYTHING; tcpdump shows
it initiating several transmissions to the http proxy server (Squid, I believe)
, but nothing ever comes back. I don't know if this is some weird problem
due to my configuration, although I noticed one other posting to the
ports mailing list 6 months ago which also complained about this problem 
- but no followups that I could locate.

Can anyone confirm that webcopy is working, or if not, suggest a
suitable replacement?
>How-To-Repeat:
webcopy -vi http://www.netscape.com/ http://your.http.proxy:here
just sits there and eventually times out.
