[Bug-wget] wget -i on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga) fails.

[doc]

I'm trying to set up a script to automatically download all of the latest and 
greatest Cascading from their canonical url.


On Ubuntu, the following commands work fine:
# wget -i http://files.cascading.org/load/2.0/latest.txt
# wget -i http://files.cascading.org/multitool/2.0/latest.txt

The wget dereferences the links without any issues and downloads the latest 
versions of Cascading load and multitool.  

However, the same commands on RedHat yield the following failures:

# wget -i http://files.cascading.org/load/2.0/latest.txt
http://files.cascading.org/load/2.0/latest.txt: No such file or directory
No URLs found in http://files.cascading.org/load/2.0/latest.txt.
# wget -i http://files.cascading.org/multitool/2.0/latest.txt
http://files.cascading.org/multitool/2.0/latest.txt: No such file or directory
No URLs found in http://files.cascading.org/multitool/2.0/latest.txt.

Am I doing something wrong?  I there a newer version of wget that I should be 
using?   Is there a elegant workaround?
