Patch to allow filtering on content-type header

[Lars Kotthoff]

Hi list,

 I've written a patch which allows filtering on the content-type header to
select what is downloaded. E.g.
wget -r --content-type=text/* http://www.foobar.com
will only download things with a content-type header of text/html, text/plain
etc. There's also a content-type-exclude option to not download specific
content-types.

If people are interested in getting this into wget, I could submit it to the bug
tracker.

Thanks,

Lars

Sounds great, Lars!

In fact, we already have an RFE on the bug-tracker for just such a thing
at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20378; if you'd like to attach it
there, that'd be great.
