    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The following site has UTF-16 encoding:
http://www.free-energy-info.co.uk/
W3C claim it's UTF-16LE, but it's not relevant.

By default wget doesn't recognise the source of it, because it's not following
any links when using with -m or -r.

When specifying remote-encoding, it doesn't work either:

$ wget --remote-encoding=UTF-16 http://www.free-energy-info.co.uk/
This version does not have support for IRIs

The same for any format, including when specifying `--no-iri`.

What should be the fix in order that encoding of that site can be parsed by
wget?
