mirroring an FTP site through an HTTP proxy

Dear wgeters:

I'm trying get the contents of an FTP site using wget-1.8.2. For that 
I'm using the --mirror option of wget. The result is wget getting an 
index.html file with the list of files and directories present on the 
base directory of the FTP site and nothing else.
I thought this could be because I'm behind an HTTP proxy (Squid 2.2 / 
STABLE5), so I've looked for the syntax for HTTP mirroring, but it 
seems to be the same.
At the moment I'm a bit puzzled by this behaviour and I couldn't find 
any clue on how to make this work.
The command line I'm using is:

  wget --mirror ftp://<user>:<password>@somesite/

I've tried other command line options too, but no matter what I never 
get more than the index page.

Thanks in advance for some help on this.

Joan Trondheim
