You left one out, the documentation. It has this under the heading
"Proxies".

   Proxies

   Proxies are special-purpose HTTP servers designed to
   transfer data from remote servers to local clients. One
   ...
          
   Some proxy servers require authorization to enable you to
   use them. The authorization consists of username and
   password, which must be sent by Wget. As with HTTP
   authorization, several authentication schemes exist. For
   proxy authorization only the Basic authentication scheme is
   currently implemented.
   
   You may specify your username and password either through
   the proxy URL or through the command-line options. Assuming
   that the company's proxy is located at `proxy.srce.hr' at
   port 8001, a proxy URL location containing authorization
   data might look like this:
   http://hniksic:mypassword@nospam.proxy.company.com:8001/

   Alternatively, you may use the `proxy-user' and
   `proxy-password' options, and the equivalent `.wgetrc'
   settings proxy_user and proxy_passwd to set the proxy
   username and password.

So depending on the type of authenticate you need you may be out of luck.
Especially if the proxy server is MS proxy.
