That is precisely the case I'm worried about. I can't point to anything in rfc2616 that would forbid this kind of server-side optimization. > Since it will work most of the time, I think it's a reasonable > optimization to use, however you might want to add a > --one-host-per-connection flag for the rare cases where the current > behavior won't work. The thing is, I don't want to bloat Wget with obscure options to turn off even more obscure (and *very* rarely needed) optimizations. Wget has enough command-line options as it is. If there are cases where the optimization doesn't work, I'd rather omit it completely.
