I hope you don't mind me asking a wget question. I have a feeling it
may hang on some Mac-specific issue which I'm not getting.
I'm trying to download http://www.guardian.co.uk/pda/avantgo/ for
offline reading. I'm using wget's --restrict-file-names flag to make
sure that problem characters aren't written to file names.
Some of the links, for instance "Top Stories", still don't work when
browsing the files.
I'm following a link to:
file:///path/to/0,11725,ID%5E3983240;NAME^Top+stories,00.html
but Firefox can't access it.
The file is there, as
file:///path/to/0,11725,ID%5E3983240%3BNAME%5ETop+stories,00.html
where the colon and caret have been URL-encoded.
Is this a bug in wget? It's sanitising the filename but not linking to
it correctly?
I'm asking here because someone may know the answer, but also because
--restrict-file-names=unix is supposed to fix all problems with
filenames on "Unix-like OS'es" according to the manpage.
