When using wget-1.8.1-2 as packaged by Red Hat (and another version somewhere in the 1.7 line), I tried downloading a dmalloc source rpm from dmalloc.com. Here's the output I get:
[schreib1@ion schreib1]$ wget http://dmalloc.com/cgi-bin/bounce/http://download.sourceforge.net/dmalloc/dmalloc-4.8.2-1.src.rpm --02:57:21-- http://dmalloc.com/cgi-bin/bounce/http:/download.sourceforge.net/dmalloc/dmalloc-4.8.2-1.src.rpm => `dmalloc-4.8.2-1.src.rpm' Resolving dmalloc.com... done.

Now, I'd have to check to be sure, but I don't think you can toss an unencoded colon into an URL the way this link does. However, invalid URL or not, wget stripping out one of the slashes after the unencoded colon doesn't seem to be the best behavior possible. I'd be grateful if anyone responding to this cc:'d me a copy, as I'm not on the wget mailing list. Thank you for a wonderful program, wget developers! -- Best of luck, Mark Schreiber
