When we try to download a redirected url similar to
http://www.netmester.dk/forside.asp?page=dept&objno=509
wget tries to store that in a filename same as the
url(forside.asp?page=dept&objno=509).
Some of these characters are illegal(in windows " \ [ ] : ; = ? , are
illegal) in a filename so wget exits with a message
Cannot write to forside.asp?page=dept&objno=509 INVALID arg.The
following patch tries to rectify this in
url_filename() in url.cThis works for me .Hope it does not break
anything
Index: src/url.c
