My bad. The problem here seems to be that "get -p" requires a URI, so
you'd need to say:

    ./get -p http://USER:PASSWORD 192 168 1 1 http://www.google.com

not just

    ./get -p USER:PASSWORD 192 168 1 1 http://www.google.com

It does not support *automatic* proxy detection via libproxy when using
--without-gnome, but manual proxy setting (via the
SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI property on SoupSession, which is what "get -p"
uses) still works. So you'd have to read $http_proxy yourself and then
manually set the proxy-uri property on the session.
