wget is not using environment variable based proxy settings

Viewed 12511

I have a windows nano server and try to set the proxy settings. The nano server is only in command mode no GUI. I have run in PowerShell

netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="ipadress:8080"

then I have

ping www.google.de 

and the IP address from google was shown, so there is some connection. But when I try to run

wget www.google.de 

I get

"Unable to connect to the remote server"

then I have set the proxy in the PowerShell environment with

set http_proxy="ipadress:8080" and https_proxy...

but the same problem. When I call wget directly with the proxy settings it works:

wget 'http://www.google.de' -Proxy http://ipadress:8080

How can I get it work that wget uses the global proxy settings? Or are the settings not correctly set? Or need I to install some windows features, that it is working?

I use wget to test the connection later any web request for any program should work.
