I am indeed using privoxy (should have noticed the function name), as Nigel
suggested. In my case the relevant setting was in my ~/.wgetrc (darcs must be
using wget), and I changed it to point straight to my squid cache instead of
privoxy. After that the darcs get was fine. Sorry about the confusion.

The 'd' was missing from "bridge", but (after fixing wget) I downloaded http://abridgegame.org/repos/darcs/_darcs/patches/Add_web_page_to_repo.-droundy9abridgegame.org-Mon_Mar_31_06.44.23_EST_2003
and append the result below.

Thank you.
