Package: wget
Version: 1.10.2-3
Severity: minor
The -k flag to wget mishandles the code for hyperlinks.
Let's say that the web page http://foo.com/bar/index.html contains a
hyperlink to http://foo.com/bar/baz.html. The html code for this
hyperlink would be:
http://foo.com/bar/baz.html>display text
Now, the command wget -h -k foo.com/bar/ downloads both pages and
*should* change the code of the hyperlink to the following:
<a href=baz.html>display text</a>
Instead, the closing tag is removed leaving only
<a href=baz.html>display text
If there is any text following the display text, it is also included
as part of the hyperlink. This is mainly a cosmetic issue as the text
is still displayed, but it is certainly not desirable. It should be
fairly straightforward to correct the script to prevent the closing
tag from being removed.

Debian GNU/Linux, www.debian.orgThe website I was trying to download from is
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/uci/
and I just looked at their page source. As it turns out, they left
out the closing tags, so it is little wonder that the tags did not
reappear after the download.
It seems that it is not your setup but mine that was wrong. I suppose
I should have checked that before filing a bug report rather than
after receiving a reply. At any rate, I'm closing this bug and I
appologize for any inconvenience I may have caused.
