Re: [Bug-wget] make wget connect to a given IP/vhost?

[Estanislao Gonzalez]

I think the documentation would surely benefit from an "examples" 
section. Writing there that example with "virtual host" keywords 
somewhere would allow users to find it promptly. 
The --header section is clear enough, it's just you have to know what 
you are looking for. :-)

Thanks for this great tool!
