Re: [Bug-wget] URL rewriting when resource name is in a variable

[Murali Ramanujam]

Hi

Sorry for the initial confusion.
I have the following script tag in the original web page.

<script>
var loc = "script.js";
document.write("<script src=" + loc + "><\/script>");
</script>

When I save it using wget -k -p, the corresponding saved file has the
following script tag

<script>
var loc = "script.js";
document.write("<script src="http://localhost/+&#32;loc&#32;+";><\/script>");
</script>


The script tag written by document.write is expected to be “script.js” but
wget saves it as “http://localhost/+loc+”
Wget is trying to rewrite the link for scripts written by document.write
which is not supposed to happen.

Thanks
Regards,
Murali
