I do *not* reply to customers. I am a developer, and post here as a private
individual. Perhaps I should unsubscribe altogether.

So there is a proxy after all.

Huh ? I described a scenario which could have caused the failure you
described. I did not *accuse* you of using a proxy !

Note that if wget is set up to use the proxy by default (env. var, wgetrc)
then it'll use the proxy even if it could connect directly through
the hole in the firewall. The first example (which I snipped) did not
use globbing. That would succeed regardless of whether wget connected
directly or through a HTML-ized proxy.
We're not getting any closer to a solution. Please post the output
of the failed request (the one that fails) in debugging mode
(be careful to obscure any possible passwords).

I apologise. Although I consider what I've written to be valid, the tone
was not. I claim temporary loss of diplomatic abilities.
