[pca] wget stalls

It's hard to guess what's going on from here. As I understand it, wget 
via HTTP and HTTPS works on the command line, but doesn't from the pca 
proxy, unless you set "wgetproxy" in pca-proxy.conf. If that's correct, 
I assume that you have set the http_proxy environment variable (used by 
wget) in your shell profile or in ~/.wgetrc, but not for the user 
(webservd, maybe) which runs the http daemon and therefore the CGI 
script (the fact that wget just hangs when run from pca-proxy.cgi is a 
strong indicator that it's being blocked by your company's firewall, too).

If usage of your company proxy is *required* for all connections, it's 
probably best to set http_proxy in /etc/wgetrc for all users.

If this is not the cause of the problem, please re-run the command you 
mentioned above with --debug added and post the result.

Martin.
