Hello.

This bug with ~ and %7E is starting to be very, very annoying.
Somebody should check it immediately. The problem was that wget
interprets urls such as
   www.site.edu/~user/   and   www.site.edu/%7Euser/
as different directory paths. With -np option wget does not
get all pages.

It is unknown to me why ~ and %7E appears in the same site,
but it happens too often. A temporary solution is to download
both with ~ and with %7E but if I understand correctly some
files may stay undownloaded.

I checked the wget source code but did not understand much
about the logic there. Anyone? Where is the true problem?
Are webservers making difference between ~ and %7E? Or is it
only wget? Eventually, I want that wget saves only %7E to my
local disk; where in the code I could tell that?

Juhana
