Ok, so wget probably just ignores the "http://" part.

wget uses whatever protocol you tell it to use. It's pca which makes
wget use solely HTTPS in its current version. Are you running wget
manually, or is this debug output from pca? Are you using the current
version of pca already?

That's what you should concentrate on, although I forgot that you have
to add the proxy setting and one more option. Try:

   /usr/local/bin/wget --execute https_proxy=10.162.69.230
--no-check-certificate https://sunsolve.sun.com/patchdiag.xref

.. to see whether HTTPS downloads work with your version of wget and
through your proxy.
