Hello, I was just thinking about this again. My initial message was incorrect, since I had expected Wget to work with invalid input. However, I still have a nagging feeling that something odd goes on with relative links, and I'd rather hear that it's intended than to let it slip by as a bug just because I didn't explain it well enough.
The last message I sent mentioned this a little bit: > I would also like to note that, even when the the document's links don't > contain a tilde, Wget will still fail to fetch the pages as long as there > is a tilde in the URL the Wget was called with. Let's consider the (UTF-8) URL "http://example.com/~foo/bar.html"; bar.html is Shift_JIS encoded and contains: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=Shift_JIS"> <a href="baz.html">Baz</a> (this time, bar.html is perfectly valid Shift_JIS and doesn't have a tilde) A recursive download will fail, because the relative URL appears to get processed as sjis_to_utf8(utf8_to_sjis("http://example.com/~foo/";) + sjis("baz.html")) resulting in http://example.com/‾foo/baz.html I would have expected utf8("http://example.com/~foo/";) + sjis_to_utf8("baz.html") resulting in http://example.com/~foo/baz.html Best regards, William Prescott
