it is "legal". it works everywhere else. that's why i ask to normalize
the URL properly.
The URL is "legal" if the web server doesn't complain (I'm betting its
IIS?) and returns /directory/file.html properly, but it's still not
technically proper to try to access a file above the root web directory.
I addressed this "bug" in wget few months ago. See the fix here:

hi frank,
i am going to test and apply your patch later this week, as well as many
other pending patches. unfortunately i am still working on my ph.d.
thesis at the moment, so i don't have much time to work on wget.
however, since i believe my thesis should be ready tomorrow or wednesday
at most, i am planning to spend the rest of the week to catch up with wget.
