But that would also wipe out all legitimate index.html files, right? ;-)

The Gentoo forum provided me with the following script, that seems to
do the job:
for dir in $(find /path/to/downloads -type d); do
rm $dir/index.html?* && rm $dir/index.html
done

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. Since I have no control over the server from
which I'm pulling the mirror AND I do not want to live with these
files ( 8-) ), I was wondering whether there's a way to exclude
certain file names, so that I can exclude the index.html?*
wildcard...?
afaik there's no way (with official releases) to do this.
I have a regex patch for 1.9.1 lying around on my system but its not
included in current wget releases (because it used pcre instead of
gnu regex/c library regex).
Last thing I heard regex support is planned for 1.11.
(If you mirror this site often, why not use a script and delete them
afterwards?)
That is not a bad idea either! :-)
Does anyone here happen to have a script that does a recursive delete
of all of these index.html?* and index.html (but ONLY if there is a
index.html?* file in the same directory)? Writing a script like this
exceeds my scripting capabilities... :-/

Evert
