This sounds as if your proxy server requires authorization to be able to use it. 
Can you verify that? If that's true, you might have to include user/password 
information in the proxy setting. See e.g.:

   http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Proxies.html

How do you feed information about the proxy to pca/wget - using pca's 
"--wgetproxy=URL" option or is it set in some wgetrc file? If it's wgetrc, make 
sure that you set https_proxy, and not (only) http_proxy.

Check if a command like this works - if not, show us the output:

wget --no-check-certificate --execute https_proxy=<your_proxy_setting> 
https://getupdates.oracle.com/reports/patchdiag.xref -O patchdiag.xref

Martin.
