that is correct, the redirect is followed even if the location domain is not specified with -D. Both --domains and --exclude-domains are checked with links that are generated by wget when recursively fetching a web page. In other words, while the first URL is retrieved as effect to a HTTP redirect, wget shouldn't follow any other link to the new domain, that would be a bug. Giuseppe
