WGET is changing my URL!

[Kohler Roberto]

Hello.

I am using wget 1.5.3 to get the URL cache_object://localhost:/info (cache 
statistics from Squid proxy) and the program is changing the URL to 
ftp://cache_object:21/%2Flocalhost/info; (guess because the protocol cache_object is 
not known).

I could not find an option so the program would accept the URL as is.

Exactly. Wget knows nothing about cache_object: URL identifier and
it assumes you wanted a FTP one.

 I could not find an option so the program would accept the URL as
 is.

There is no such an option, sorry. You may only use http://,
https://, or ftp:// URLs with wget.
