[bug #60287] Windows recursive download escapes utf8 URLs twice

[Eli Zaretskii]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #60287 (project wget):

You are welcome to send patches which would implement what you think should be
the correct behavior in Wget.  At the time, based on my study of the Wget
sources and its basic design of fetching Web pages, my conclusion was that the
only reliable way in Wget on Windows to deal with non-ASCII characters in URLs
specified by Web pages is to provide Wget with the remote and local encodings,
especially since UTF-8 support on Windows is rudimentary at best.  I thought I
was doing fine by helping you and others deal with these situations by
explaining how to use those options to your benefit...
