Here's what happens when you ask your web server for `/':

Run tcpdump and watch what wget does. It requests `/', gets the above
response, and closes the connection. wget doesn't follow the
redirection, but instead gives a misleading error message. This may be
due to the redirection not being to an absolute URL, or it may be simply
that wget doesn't do redirections.
