Not only is it possible, it is the behavior (at least in wget 1.8.1). If you run with -d, you will see that every GET after the first one includes the appropriate referer. If I execute: wget -d -r http://www.exelana.com --referer=http://www.aol.com The first request is reported as: GET / HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Wget/1.8.1 Host: www.exelana.com Accept: */* Connection: Keep-Alive Referer: http://www.aol.com But, the third request is: GET /left.html HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Wget/1.8.1 Host: www.exelana.com Accept: */* Connection: Keep-Alive Referer: http://www.exelana.com/ The second request is for robots.txt and uses the referer from the command line.
