Uh, what I wrote was rather confusing ... What I meant was that in
order to get http://www.ahram.org.eg/arab/ahram/1999/2/19/FRON1.HTM,
wget will have to find a page containing something like
<a href="http://www.ahram.org.eg/arab/ahram/1999/2/19/FRON1.HTM"> .
As long as such a page exists, wget shall grab the URL. The bad thing
is that if the page referring to the URL has been server-generated as
an output of a HTML form, wget will not be able to get it as it does
not know what shall be filled into the form. Therefore you won't be
able to grab pages that are referred by output of HTML forms.

One thing is whether the URL is accessible form outer world, another
thing is whether you can find a page on the server that actually
refers it so that you can learn about the page URL.
