Hi Jeff, If this patch allows Wget to better retrieve files from the internet, I don't see why it would be unwanted slop. Sure, such patches are always welcome!
However, it would be excellent if you could: 1. Give an example of a real website doing this. 2. Write a test case demonstrating how your patch fixes something that was earlier broken. I can help you with the test case if required.
