None of these work with wget.

This also does not work with wget.

 the tests suggested with wget, I may 
 consider changing or removing the user-agent
 reported by cygwin setup, 
 or providing such
 an option.
 

Except not using the option, this is the only one I found that works here with wget:

--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko"

(Note: proxy_user and proxy_password, as well as  are also being set in .wgetrc and .bashrc
and https_proxy, http_proxy and ftp_proxy are additionally being set in .bashrc)
