IRC channel at FreeNode
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi folks, I've experimentally started a #wget channel for discussion and support, at FreeNode (irc.freenode.net). Please feel free to come and lurk! Without it having been announced, and only being open over this weekend, a couple of people managed to find their way into it and ask some support questions. I will try to be present on the channel during Pacific daytime hours (though I will be working much of that time, and may not actually be available); it would be nice to have a little coverage during other times, as well. - -- Micah J.

Probably, wget should have done that when converting the links, considering that it named the file with a ?, but left it literally in the converted link; ? is a special character for URIs, and cannot be part of filenames unless they are encoded. I'll make note of that in my buglist. It appears that this is actually by design. If -E (--html-extension) is not specified, `?' will not be replaced with `%3F'. From src/ convert.c: We quote ? as %3F to avoid passing part of the file name as the parameter when browsing the converted file through HTTP. However, it is safe to do this only when `--html-extension' is turned on. This is because converting index.html?foo=bar to index.html%3Ffoo=bar would break local browsing, as the latter isn't even recognized as an HTML file! However, converting index.html?foo=bar.html to index.html%3Ffoo=bar.html should be safe for both local and HTTP-served browsing. Running $ wget -E -H -k -p http://www.fdoxnews.com/ does the right thing. -Ben
