Greetings:

There does not appear to be a way to refuse redirects in wget.  This
is a problem because certain sites use local click-count CGIs which
return redirects to advertisers.  A common form is
http://desired.web.site/clickcount.cgi?http://undesired.advertiser.site/,
which produces a redirect to http://undesired.advertiser.site.
Neither -r nor --exclude-domains currently blocks this redirect.  I
would like to request as a fix for this problem one (or both) of
these:
* A --follow-redirects={yes|no} option (default yes)
* That --exclude-domains operate on redirects.

Thanks,
MJB
