I, too, see little value in using Wget to copy files which are accessible locally, but let's say that someone wished to add this feature. Given a link like "file:///a/b.c", what would be the destination for the "downloaded" file on the local file system? How would link conversion work?
Also, if the implementation involves something as clever as 'system( "cp -p /a/b.c <somewhere>");', please bear in mind that such code is not portable (to VMS, for example). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
