 That strikes me as not quite right. If Wget sees
 http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G, and it's not redirected
 to http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G/, then Wget will use
 a file name. What's more, if it later sees it with the slash, it will
 fail to create a directory at all, since the file already exists with
 that pathname.
 
 I'm not sure what you mean by I want both. You can't possibly have a
 regular file named iPhone3G, and another file named iPhone3G/images/...
 it can't be both a file and a directory at once.
 
 If you specify the link with a trailing slash, then Wget will realize
 iPhone3G is a directory, and will store the file it finds there as
 iPhone3G/index.html. You're out of luck, though, if some links refer to
 it with, and some without, the trailing slash, with a server that
 doesn't redirect to the slash version (like Apache does).

I think he mean the thing like the Web-Browsers do.

If you download a HTML file with contents you will get:

some_name.html
some_name/  # the page requisites

so if he try to downloag

http://www.some-domain.tld/sub1/iPhone3G

he want

iPhone3G.html
iPhone3G/   # the page requisites

I would find this feature usefull too.

Re: propose new feature: loading cookies from Firefox 3.0 cookies.sqlite

 Hi, folks:
 I'm currently using Firefox 3.0 on my Ubuntu 8.04 system. The browser
 saves its cookie file in the same directory as its predecessor Firefox
 2.x, but in a SQLite database file called cookies.sqlite instead of a
 textual file. And I want to add support for this new cookie file format
 into wget. The coding is almost done.
 I'd like to know if anyone else is also working on this.

To be honest, I'd prefer to avoid a dependency on sqlite in Wget, even a
configurable one. I'd much prefer to see a solution based on a separate
program that converts from cookies.sqlite to a cookies.txt file.
Besides, that solution would work with more tools than Wget (do one
thing, and do it well¹).

¹ Not that Wget adheres particularly well to that philosophy...

Lest you think I'm just being unfeeling to your needs, I should point
out that I'm also running on an Ubuntu 8.04, and have found the
sqlite-based cookies files a supreme annoyance. I'd just prefer a more
general, scriptable solution.

However, if you choose to complete this work (you said you're nearly
done), I won't mind if you place a link to your patch on the Wiki front
page (http://wget.addictivecode.org/FrontPage).
