I appear to have found a bug in wget 1.8.2, and I couldn't find any references to it via google. Is this a real bug? I have trouble believing it can't have been hit before; but on the other hand, I can't figure out any reason why it should be occuring to me.
If I use "wget -r http://myhost.com/" when that site contains https:// links, (eg. <a href="https://www.example.com/foo/bar.html">ding</a>), then wget jumps host and starts trying to mirror those sites as well! The span-hosts parameter is not enabled in any configuration files. If I recompile wget with the --without-ssl parameter, then the problem is solved, and everything operates normally. As I said, I'm using wget 1.8.2 - both original source, and with redhat patches. I'm linking to redhat's patched version of openssl, openssl-0.9.6b-29, and also repeated the tests on a suse box with openssl-0.9.6g-68. Any ideas?
