[Bug-wget] RE:How to exclude link?

[Tom Mizutani]

Hi,

First of all, I suggest:
* to show the wget version and the platform
* to keep a log with -d (or --debug) options, and post relevant part of the log.
Then you any get more help.

And also, if you can write the real web site URL, it might help.

For your first argument, wget will download xyz*.html or xyz*.htm
files, analyze them, find links from them, and delete them, regardless
what you specify with --reject option.  That is the way wget was
designed, and I observed that wget works as such.

Wget manual online
<http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Types-of-Files>
clearly says:

>Note that these two options (--accept  and --reject) do not affect the 
>downloading of html files (as determined by a `.htm' or `.html' filename 
>prefix). This behavior may not be desirable for all users, and may be changed 
>forfuture versions of Wget.

For your second argument, I have no suggestion, since the deletion of
"xyz_want_to_download" will be the _right_ behavior.
