Hi, I have also encountered this problem. the busybox wget works against an apt-cacher via apache but not directly against the apt-cache daemon. I'm not sure what the root cause of this is and if it is due to the busybox wget not including a complete HTTP request header or if its a bug in apt-cacher's HTTP header handling. Eitherway, I have managed to patch apt-cacher to workaround/fix this issue.
