Re: [Bug-wget] possible bug? pathconf: Not a directory

[Ander Juaristi]

Hi Ed,

Thanks for pointing it out. This issue arises again and again.

Obviously this is not a desired behaviour, and it's been reported as a bug: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42180

If there is a way, I can't come across it. In a 2014 discussion, looks like 
Ángel did some deeper research on this: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2014-04/msg00051.html

Maybe he has something else to add?

You can work around the issue with -nd, which will download all the files in 
the same directory (will not recreate the directory structure). I've tested it 
and it correctly downloads the missing image.
