WSL kernel issue & workaround

I've been having a hard time getting wget2 to work within Windows Subsystem for Linux. The problem is reproducible, Tim Rühsen confirmed it in the mailing list. http addresses will loop 22: Invalid argument over and over, https will just hang forever. I believe this might be the issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2915 & https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1419

It would appear that it comes down to what the kernel supports, and these might lead to a fix:

https://github.com/Rich-Harris/port-authority/pull/5 & https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/13517

Apologies if I'm off base here.
