Hi, I am trying to download a Wiki category for off-line browsing, and am using a command-line like this:
wget http://wiki/Category:Fish -r -l 1 -k Wiki categories contain colons in their filenames, for example: Category:Fish If I request that wget convert absolute paths to relative links, then it will create a link like this: <a href="Category:Fish" title="Category:Fish">Fish</a> Unfortunately, this is not a valid URL, because the browser interprets the 'Category:' as the invalid protocol "Category", not the local filename 'Category:Fish' You can get wget to replace the : with an escaped character using --restrict-file-names=windows, but unfortunately this does not fix the problem because the browser will un-escape the URL and will still continue to look for a file with a colon in it. I am not sure of the best way to address this bug, because I am not sure if it possible to escape the ':' to prevent the browser from treating it as a delimiter. It might be best to be allowed to specify some other character, such as '_', to be used to replace the ':' in both filename and URL. Regards, Peter Fletcher
