while wget (and curl) has been updated, apparently trying to fix a bug or
attack vector, several times in the last 6 weeks or so.
So this would appear to be a busybox problem from my point of view? Or
possibly a broken link as I get that same pair of errors regardless of
the machine on my home net that I initiate this query from:
wget -S --spider https://wiki.debian.org
And this is the response I get from here in WV,USA:
gene@coyote:~/Documents$ wget -S --spider https://wiki.debian.org
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

Found 1 broken link.

So either wget has been banned, or the file does not exist.
