wget: pathconf: No such file or directory error when proxy enabled

[Lewis Rosenthal]

Proxy is correctly configured in .wgetrc:

http_proxy = http://localhost:3128/
use_proxy = on

However, when retrieving with proxy enabled, the following (likely spurious) error is reported:

wget http://some-url-with-existing-file
pathconf: No such file or directory
--2017-01-27 15:58:26--  http://some-url-with-existing-file
Resolving localhost (localhost)... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:3128... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response...

The download completes normally, apparently via the configured proxy.

The same .wgetrc configuration does not throw the error with my homegrown wget 1.14 static build from 2013.

The above occurs with:

wget-1.18-2.oc00.pentium4
