LGTM. IMHO mirroring the behavior of HTTP is the way to go.
As I stated in #45037, my only concern would be if there's any path in 
the code
that wget with some flags would allow a remote server to create a 
symlink *and* follow it.

It's not possible to create a symlink with HTTP, so it's not a problem 
there. And although
I thought it was possible with FTP (I can certainly see symlinks on FTP 
servers), a brief test
sugests that wget doesn't mirror them, either?

Best regards
