Are you using --span-hosts ? Otherwise wget won't be crawling pages to
a different host and thus won't produce a relative url down to the hostname.

I think that not using --span-hosts will suit your use case.

However, you may provide a patch for making links relative to the 
hostname in
such case (you would need to add a parameter for --convert-links to enable
that alternative conversion).




Bug notice: just listing the domains to span on --domains doesn't seem 
to work
