hi!

  well I think you misunderstood perhaps...

  I mean not to give referer (the --referer) but to give
  something like --auto-referer (possibly in wgetrc even)
  and wget will set referer for each url it process to the
  host-part from the same url. i.e. I'll give the example
  once again:

  I run:
  wget --auto-referer -m http://host1/path

  wget sets referer for all host1's urls to `http://host1/',
  if any page links to `http://host2/path', wget will set
  referer to `http://host2/' etc...

  I'm sorry but I wouldn't be able to explain further I'm
  afraid :)))

  thanx to you both for the reply!

P! Vladi.
