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.
Hi Giuseppe,
If I interpret you correctly, you are stating this is a feature. I
understand the HTTP protocol requires clients to follow
redirects, but this behaviour leads to unwanted creation of directory
structures. The redirect to the non-allowed domain
is followed, the first contents are downloaded and a directory structure
is created for the new non-allowed domain.
I would suggest creating an option preventing redirects to excluded domains.
Kind regards,
Pieter
