It takes several minutes to launch Emacs

In my test environment, it takes several minutes to launch Emacs because Emacs trying following command but can't connect in this environment for security reasons.

/usr/bin/wget -q --spider www.emacswiki.org

Enabling http-proxy for wget makes this issue resolved.

  1. su -
  2. vi /etc/wgetrc
  3. add following line
http_proxy = http://$proxy-host-ip:$proxy-host-port/
