The peer simply does not return anything. It closes its connection.
Probably it detects wget closing its writing end: shutdown(3, SHUT_WR).
The point it, closing write side of the socket is _valid_ for HTTP.
wget sent the full request, it won't be sending anything more:
it will only receive the response, and that's it.
