Hello, I consider this a bug to underline that the default behaviour should be the opposite.
For example: if I want to grab a series of pdf's from a list that is part of an HTML-document, I want to just set -Apdf. This does not work, though, because the HTML-document gets rejected. I have to set -Ahtml,pdf. This is bad for two reasons: 1. wget downloads and keeps the HTML-document on my media though I'm not interested in it. 2. I have to set -r to reach the pdf's (they are only linked from the HTML-document), which results in wget also following links to other HTML-documents and storing the whole WWW on my media. >From my point of view, the first HTML-document is always valid because it is part of the start address. It is targeted directly, and the user knows why. It should never be rejected--even if its type is not listed with -A. It should always be parsed and evaluated to have a chance to get the links to the other types listed with -A processed. It may not be stored persistently on the media, though. Regards, Dennis
