Lite Upgrade (3.4 to 3.6) via a proxy server doesn't work

[WytWun]

There's a wget proxy statement in the code. I'm not at my computer right now so I can't test whether or not removing it would still work. Probably better for ralphy to answer why it's there. Line 495 in /usr/bin/lite-upgrade-series3

Thanks Jerry - the wget man page makes clear that the --no-proxy option would result in the behaviour I'm seeing.  Before editing this option out I'd prefer to know why it's set

FWIW I didn't have any problems with the upgrade on another system that isn't behind a proxy.

humdinger70: If I correctly understand the options to the wget command Jerry identified, the connectivity check only makes 2 attempts to connect to the Linux Lite repositories and will bail out if any network transaction doesn't succeed within 1 second.  If for some reason your network connection is via a service with heavily congested communications links or subject to very high latency, including for DNS queries, I could see you getting this message.
