It's too early in the installation process to have wget ready and installed when the preseed file is gathered. I don't know if busybox wget can be enabled with HTTPS but I doubt we do it (as it will probably require adding SSL libraries as well). In short, I very much doubt that https gathering of preseed files is easy to achieve. (please replyto 698528@bugs.debian.org only)
