Hello. Wget 1.10.2 has the following bug compared to version 1.9.1. First, the bin/wgetdir is defined as wget -p -E -k --proxy=off -e robots=off --passive-ftp -o zlogwget`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` -r -l 0 -np -U Mozilla --tries=50 --waitretry=10 $@ The download command is wgetdir http://udn.epicgames.com Version 1.9.1 result: download ok Version 1.10.2 result: only udn.epicgames.com/Main/WebHome downloaded and other converted urls are of the form http://udn.epicgames.com/../Two/WebHome Juhana
Feature Request: Pattern Matching - '?'
There seems to be some inconsistency in pattern matching, regarding the use of symbol '?'. The manual says "Look up the manual of your shell for a description of how pattern matching works.". Now I understand that maybe this shouldn't be taken so literally, but I would suggest the following: 1) Insert a clarification in the manual regarding this non-standard/inconsistent behaviour. 2) In addition, consider extending pattern-matching to include a single-character wildcard, perhaps using an escape character. i.e. "\?" could be used to specify the wildcard, while normal '?' would be taken as a literal, and part of the URL.

Feature Request: Prefiltering (applicable to recursive gets)
It seems pointless to download ALL html content under some circumstances... esp. if all or most pages contain php links, like, Apache file listings (i.e. "?N=D", "?M=A", etc.). Why not add an option like --rreject --pre-reject or maybe --pre-filter, so we can specify which types of links to completely ignore? Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!
