Yes, indeed.
However beware that wget does have its quirks, and a very careful
look (and experimentation) is needed at exactly what command line
parameters it is given before you find a formula that does exactly
as you want. But you _will_ find that it will do it.

Some of the mirror programs (like "mirror") are perl-based).

lynx *can* do this... use the -source switch (and others, like
-mime-header). Also look at its "traversal" switches. Overall,
lynx is a very cool text-mode html browser - it has a hell of a lot
of features.
In fact, there are several other utilities out there that can do
html and ftp mirroring (and do neat things like altering the URLs to
be relative rather than absolute).
