Re: [Bug-wget] --header="Accept-encoding: gzip"

[Ander Juaristi]

Hi,

would you tell us what are the exact URLs you are trying with?

If you can't post those URLs in public, either set up a test server, or send 
them to me privately.

I think what you need is the -r/--recursive option but I won't be sure unless I 
see the URLs.

Also, bear in mind that Wget does not support any kind of content-coding. This means that 
if the content comes gzipped, it won't be able to decompress it, as you would expect. So 
passing '--header="Accept-encoding: gzip"' won't probably do what you expected.
