You can verify this with the following command.
You didn't provide the command. And I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "limits all href to base href". The way base href works is, every URL gets merged with the base href URL. The merging process should correctly handle absolute paths. For instance if base href is "http://www.server.com/foo/";, the URL "/bar/index.html" will be merged as "http://www.server.com/bar/index.html";, i.e. the initial slash in the URL overrode the "foo" part of the base URL. > I cannot provide you with the site that I identified the problem > with because of security reasons. Understood. It could still be possible to make a minimum Wget run that demonstrate the problem with `-d -o log'. After that, `log' should contain a full debugging dump of the download. Replace your site name with "www.server.com", and the identity of your site should be protected.
