Hi Michael, we have this in Wget2 already
From the docs: ### `--cut-url-get-vars` Remove HTTP GET Variables from URLs. For example "main.css?v=123" will be changed to "main.css". Be aware that this may have unintended side effects, for example "image.php?name=sun" will be changed to "image.php". The cutting happens before adding the URL to the download queue. ### `--cut-file-get-vars` Remove HTTP GET Variables from filenames. For example "main.css?v=123" will be changed to "main.css". Be aware that this may have unintended side effects, for example "image.php?name=sun" will be changed to "image.php". The cutting happens when saving the file, after downloading. File names obtained from a "Content-Disposition" header are not affected by this setting (see --content-disposition), and can be a solution for this problem. When "--trust-server-names" is used, the redirection URL is affected by this setting.
