Hello.

Char coding of "~" causes problems in downloading.

Example:

 wget -p -E -k --proxy=off -e robots=off --passive-ftp -q -r -l 0 -np
 http://www.stanford.edu/~dattorro/

However, not all was downloaded. The file "machines.html" has hrefs
 http://www.stanford.edu/%7Edattorro/images/calloph.jpg
 http://www.stanford.edu/%7Edattorro/Lexicon.htm
instead of the correct urls
 images/calloph.jpg
 Lexicon.htm
and these two files were not downloaded. In fact, 52 files were downloaded
and 105 files were not!! A major bug.

Simply, "~" and "%7E" should be treated as the same char. Otherwise
there is no point in "%" MIME(?) codings at all.

For local filenames, only one of "~" and "%7E" should be used. I would
prefer MIME codings because Linux scripts (e.g., "for i in `find`"),
cannot handle spaces in filenames.

Has this problem been fixed already? Is there any quick solution before
the problem is fixed?
