Hello,

It seems that wget ignores anything after the "filename" when processing its
accept/reject parameters.

For example, if I want to recursively accept only IRLs with "_bar" at the
end starting with the following IRL:

http://mysite.org/my.dll?param1=foo_bar  (accepted)
http://mysite.org/my.dll?param1=foo_rab  (not accepted)

I would think something like:

  wget -r -l2 -p -E --accept="*_bar*" mysite.org

would get the above IRL and continue to spider down only accepting IRLs that
contain the string "_bar", but wget stops spidering right after the first
hit.

I believe might be because wget does not look beyond the "filename" (in the
case above: my.dll) to discriminate against the accept/reject values.

I'm hoping that someone else has encountered this problem and found a
work-around or a (WIN32) fix. Any help or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
