You could be describing a feature here - on how WGETn handles unsafe characters.
I have modified my WGET 1.7 webpage with information on how you can turn this off in the compiling for designated characters: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/mirror/wget.htm Under: Optimising and Compiling WGET For the latest WGET 1.7.1 This describes how to do this for the "~" character. But is analogous to do this to any others. Is there a better runtime way of doing this for specific characters?
