Package: wget
Version: 1.11.4-2
Severity: minor

Hi, 

I found that I can't make wget --follow-tags to work when using the 
--no-clobber option. 

First of all, all that I want is to download all images from an
*downloaded* html file, and then "convert-links" locally. Believing
that --no-clobber is all what I need:

,-----
| ... when -nc is specified, files with the suffixes .html or .htm
| will be loaded from the local disk and parsed as if they had been
| retrieved from the Web.
`-----

so I tried,

  curl http://www.cnn.com/ -o test.htm
  wget --no-directories --no-clobber --convert-links --follow-tags=img 
http://localhost/test.htm

Thinking that wget will load the test.htm as if it had been
retrieved from the web, parse it, then follow and download all the
img tags. However it didn't work (see below). Why is that?
(Note that if I substitute the --follow-tags option with 
--page-requisites, at least I'm getting something).

PS. 

- If not using --no-clobber, but --force-html --input-file=test.htm,
  the --follow-tags=img, works fine, but --convert-links did not do
  anything, but I want the img links to be converted locally.

- is there better way for wget to load local files instead of using
  the fake http://localhost/...?

- is it possible not to use --span-hosts for this case?

Thanks

Tong
