Hi,
I wrote once already.  I was using wget 1.5.3, which comes with red hat 7.1.  I figured the reason no one responded is that it wasn't the latest version.  So I upgraded to 1.7.  I am still getting the exact same problem described below:
 
I am writing a site copier program for a free web hosting company.  In testing the -k option, I find that it only converts absolute links to relative links if it has already downloaded the page in question through a relative link.  BUT if there is only one link to a certain page, and that link is absolute, the link won't be converted and the document won't get downloaded.  Is this accurate?  Has it been fixed in a later version? (I'm running 1.7).
 
So, for example, if the url passed to wget is www.jake.com, and there is an absolute link to http://www.jake.com/FAQ.html, and on the site there is also a relative link to FAQ.html, then this absolute link will get changed.  BUT if there is an absolute link to http://www.jake.com/products.html and NO relative links anywhere, this page doesn't get downloaded and the link is not changed.  The behavior I was expecting was for the link to change.
 
Here is the command I am running.  Is there a problem with my ordering of command line options?
 
/usr/bin/wget -o /path/wget_log.txt -k -r -t3 -nc -Q20m -nH --cut-dirs=$dirs -X cgi-bin,cgi -R .ace,.rar,.mp3 -np $url
 
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
Mark
