Does it work if you replace http://localhost/test/filename.abc with http://127.0.0.1/test/filename.abc ?

Maybe a dumb question: do you have http server running at all on destination host?
And why are you trying localhost from router?

Yes I have

This is your localhost (your PC).

try http:// <your pc ip here> /test/filename.abc

Localhost is the machine you are running the command on. localhost on the router would be the uhttp server in the router itself which usually serves LuCI, though you can put any other files you want in the /www directory (until the flash is full). Other than as a test, it is pointless to wget from yourself, you can just copy out of the www directory.
