I am seeing some anomalous behavior with wget with respects to mirroring (-m) a site and trying to keep that mirror local to the source domain. There are a couple of CGI scripts that inevitably get called that end up issuing redirects off-site. These redirects are followed even though --span-hosts is not supplied, and even if the destination domains are added via the --exclude-domains option.
A test case is up at http://fastolfe.net/misc/wget-bug/. Spidering http://fastolfe.net/misc/wget-bug/normal will correctly ignore the *link* to www.example.com, but spidering http://fastolfe.net/misc/wget-bug/redirected ends up following a local link that results in a redirection. This redirection is followed unconditionally. In this case, www.example.com doesn't exist, but if this were a normal domain, wget would still fetch the page and store it locally (creating a www.example.com directory, etc.). I am using GNU Wget 1.7 installed via RPM as wget-1.7-3mdk on Linux 2.4.12 i686.
