Hi Sean,thank you very much, definitely a very nice feature ! I extended the commit message with GNU stuff and pushed it.
Has Sean signed the FSF copyright assignment? This is a major code contribution and would require the legalities to be completed.
Once that is clear, I am happy to see this code in the codebase as well.
This feature deserves to be extended :-) I have the mime type and the content charset in mind. BTW, what is the 'cost' for this feature regarding disk space ?

POSIX extended attributes provide a lightweight portable method of keeping this information across Linux, OS/X, FreeBSD and many other platforms. This compliments wget's existing WARC support, which serves a related but different use case closer to tcpdump or tar for web pages. Extended attributes can provide a quick answer to "where did I get this file from again?" This patch changes: * autoconf detects whether extended attributes are available and enables the code if they are. * The new flags --xattr and --no-xattr control whether xattr is enabled. * The new command "xattr = (on|off)" can be used in ~/.wgetrc or /etc/wgetrc * The original and redirected URLs are recorded as shown below. * This works for both single fetches and recursive mode. Here is an example, where http://archive.org redirects to https://archive.org: $ wget --xattr http://archive.org ... $ getfattr -d index.html user.xdg.origin.url="https://archive.org/"; user.xdg.referrer.url="http://archive.org/"; These attributes were chosen based on those stored by Google Chrome ( https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=45903) and curl ( https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/src/tool_xattr.c)
