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?
