[lug] wget proxy tunneling fail

[stimits at comcast.net]

I'm not on linux right now, but found something perhaps of interest:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.user/101968
 
I've often used telnet to port 80 of a web server and manually typed in the GET header to see what response is given. One part of the GET is HTTP/1.0 or 1.1. If you use 1.0, the header requirements are simplified, so this is what I type by hand. It looks like wget, when using 1.1, fails to throw in the rest of the header which is mandatory.
 
Perhaps there is a way to force wget to use HTTP 1.0? Don't have any man pages handy.

 ...wget -t 2 -T 30 --passive-ftp --no-check-certificate --spider 'https://eula-downloads.yoctoproject.org/index.php'

 I get the following error,
