So you would suggest handling in the way that when I use wget --base=/some/serverdir http://server/serverdir/ "/.*" will be interpreted as "/some/.*" so if you have a link like "/serverdir/" it would go back to "/some/serverdir", right?
I guess this would be ok. Just one question if there is a Link back to /serverdir/ and base is something like /my/dir/ shouldn't this also be fetched from inside /my/dir/ and not /my/serverdir/?
