in any case we won't be able to predict all possible cases. A website can
generate any URL with JavaScript that we can't fully enumerate.
That is why my suggestion, if we cover most of the cases with a few
regex, then let's go this way and avoid the extra burden of depending
and having a javascript engine in wget.
