Hi,

I recently had need to pipe what wget retrieved through a command before 
writing to disk. There was no way I could do this with the version I had.

What I would like to wget to do is to create a tar stream of the files 
and directories it is downloading and send that to stdout, kind of like :

tar -cvvf - files...

then I could pipe that into whatever I wanted, for example :

$ wget -r -l 3 --tar 'http://www.sgi.com/' | other commands | tar -xvvf -

Anyone think this is a good idea?

Please 'cc' me, since I am not on the email list.

Thanks.

Max.
