There is a problem with wget recursively retrieving pages over https. With debu\ g on you get the following.
Not following non-HTTP schemes. A quick fix is supplied below. You may which to add a --follow-https option. Also, when using a proxy with https wget requests GET https-url HTTP/1.0 when it should request CONNECT host HTTP/1.0. Unfortunately, I don't have patch at this time.
