Now that I think about it, I'm convinced the switch should be named something more "positive". Seeing "--no-redirections" on the command-line makes perfect sense, but I would really hate to see "no_redirections=on" in the .wgetrc file. How about "--follow-redirections={on|off}" for the command-line and "follow_redirections={on|off}" for the .wgetrc file? KM
