I've got the following problem with wget version 1.8.1:

I'm using:

  wget -P $LOCALDIR -m -np -nH -p --cut-dirs=2 http://host/dir1/dir2/

This works fine, except that wget does not follow all the urls. It skips
urls like:

  <A HREF="//host/dir1/dir2/file">text</A>

Now probably the website designer did a lousy job by omitting the 'http:'
for this url, but I think wget should follow this link and retrieve the
file, it does not violate the -np option.

I think this kind of URL should be treated like a shorthand-URL to
automatically detect the scheme.

I've fixed this for now with a dirty fix (all I am capable of) so I can
work.
