Using dillo/elinks/wget/rsync with a proxy?

Arrgh, this is really embarrasing, BUT:

I can't get these simple programs working with our proxy here at school. It's at proxy.ugs.uddevalla.se, the username is ******* and the password is ******** ( ). Would be a piece of cake if the proxy didn't need authentication, but then again, there we are.

I've tried the following:
$ http_proxy=http://proxy.ugs.uddevalla.se dillo
$ http_proxy=http://<username>:<password>@proxy.ugs.uddevalla.se dillo
$ http_proxy=http://<username>:<password>@proxy.ugs.uddevalla.se:8080 dillo
$ http_proxy=http://proxy.ugs.uddevalla.se:8080 proxy_user=<username> proxy_passwd=<password> dillo
etc

Firefox, though, has no problem working with the proxy (although cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz begs to differ... it's sloooow).

What did I overlook?

For Dillo:

Take this: http://www.dillo.org/dillorc

And put it in ~/.dillo/dillorc

Then under NETWORK SECTION:

# Set the proxy information for http
#http_proxy=http://localhost:8080/

# if you need to provide a  user/password pair for the proxy,
# set the proxy user name here and Dillo will ask for the password later.
#http_proxyuser="joe"

Change it to fit your needs!
