Hi there,

wget -r is very useful to slurp and archive entire web sites, I use it all the
time when working with other web designers remotely. However, images declared
in CSS rules are ignored by the robot if they are not seen elsewhere in the
HTML pages. Therefore, to mirror the site properly, such images must be fetched
manually with separate commands after poking into each individual CSS file --
a cumbersome and error- prone process. As web designers increasingly rely on
background images in CSS to cleanly separate presentation from content, wget
ought to accomodate this feature.

Happy Friday the 13th,

  JFG
