[Bug-wget] single-quoted URLs in meta refresh tag.

I often see redirecting meta refresh tags with single-quotes around the
URL, like:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/our_site/index.php/front_page'">

wget tries to fetch the URL literally containing the single quotes.

All of the browsers I tried (IE, firefox, chrome, lynx) will strip off the
single quotes.

Would a patch to implement the single-quote stripping to wget be welcomed,
or would that be unwanted slop?

Thanks,

Jeff
