Followup-For: Bug #353326
Just a note to confirm that "-O -" seems partially broken:
# use 'random.org'
% S="http://www.random.org/cgi-bin/randbyte?nbytes=12&format=dec";
# try to send some numbers to standard output
wget -O - "$S" ; echo $?
--18:19:18-- http://www.random.org/cgi-bin/randbyte?nbytes=12&format=dec
=> `-'

# did it reall make a file called '-'???
% ls ./- ; echo $?
ls: ./-: No such file or directory

Syntax variants like "-O-", "-O=-", "-O='-'", etc. don't work
either. If I pipe it to a file like '/tmp/foo' it does work.
OTOH, a simpler URL does work:
% S="http://www.random.org"; ; wget --quiet -O - "$S"
...etc...
But why should a URL have any effect on the output syntax? The two
should be separate.
Hope this helps...
