Comment(by whtiger):

 Verified. Using 0.2.2.development.1

 Looking at wireshark, I'm only seeing it talk with secure.wikimedia.org.

 Looking at the headers from Live HTTP Headers shows that the Host header
 is incorrect. As far as I can tell it's sending this incorrect Host
 (en.wikipedia.org) to secure.mediawiki.org and that's causing it to 404.

 If I Replay it with Live HTTP Headers, it's always the same result. When I
 change the Host to secure.wikimedia.org it works perfectly. From what I
 gather it's not properly changing the Host over, even though it's talking
 with the correct server.
