I am trying to exclude certain file name patterns from a recursive http
download, but wget can't do it.
* The manpage says
Specify comma-separated lists of file name suffixes or
patterns to accept or reject.
I don't understand that "pattern", but it only does anything if the
filename ends in the specified string(s).
* --reject doesn't work if --html-extension is specified.
* --reject works by deleting the matching files after download. This
isn't much help to cut down on hundreds of MB of traffic, and deleting
files matching a pattern is much easier done with find xargs etc.
