Interesting. If I have in .wgetrc
 https_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8118
redirection still fails:

 wget -O - https://paypal.com/
--00:27:52--  https://paypal.com/
           => `-'
Resolving 127.0.0.1... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8118... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently
Location: https://www.paypal.comhttps://paypal.com/ [following]

Is that a PayPal problem or a Wget problem?
