Well, what you describe, is just, how ftp through a (http-)proxy works. The client (wget or e.g. a browser) talks HTTP with the proxy and the proxy does the real FTP protocol with the ftp server. From the wget end you see only the dialog with the proxy server and not the dialgo with the ftp server in the background.
