it is "legal". it works everywhere else. that's why i ask to normalize
the URL properly.
The URL is "legal" if the web server doesn't complain (I'm betting its
IIS?) and returns /directory/file.html properly, but it's still not
technically proper to try to access a file above the root web directory.
I addressed this "bug" in wget few months ago. See the fix here:
