I've never tried wget through an http-based ftp proxy.
Are there any clues in the file it wrote (presumably a html-format
directory listing)?
Are there any more clues if you use the -d (--debug) option?

Looks all pretty normal to me. Just to clarify: We are using a proxy cascade here.
The first proxy is a squid24 the last one is a NetCache, but since it is working
with older wget versions ...
