Then, you can tell wget to use your local privoxy as an http proxy, which is
exactly how your browser relates to it.
export http_proxy=localhost:8118
wget http://www.cybersyndrome.net/pla5.html
should do the trick, but check the wget manual page about proxy support for
full details. (I'm assuming here you're running the usual kind of Tor setup
with a supporting co-installation of Privoxy.)

That's interesting. A real 302 redirect would have an actual 302 status
code and a Location header, not just be a 200 returning an html document with
the words "302 Found" and a URL in it.

It's something the server is doing deliberately, perhaps a malfunctioning or
misguided anti-bot feature of some sort, based on the request headers sent by
the user's agent.

Well, you can use wget! Or you can tell your curl to pretend it is wget!
