I'd need to see the full logs (with --debug set) for both Wget 1.10.2
and the working (via proxy) and not-working Wget 1.11 cases. Or else, an
example URL that we can test directly that gives this behavior.

I'll try to set up a similar test of my own when I have a chance, but
the fact that it works when using a proxy makes me think that it's
server-dependent behavior, so I'll probably still end up needing logs.
