Bug in -np option: msg#00034

Subject: Bug in -np option
There is a bug in the -np option ("don't ascend to the parent directory") of wget 1.9.1:

When the URL ends in a slash ("/"), it works OK, but when the slash is missing, wget apparently doesn't care about the option and happily continues above the parent directory.

Compare these two lines (only the last character is different):

wget -o wget.log -nH --cut-dirs=2 -np -m http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/unstable/opensimpad/

wget -o wget.log -nH --cut-dirs=2 -np -m http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/unstable/opensimpad

The upper line stays within "opensimpad", but the lower one goes on and on, following the links in index.html

Regards,

Heiko
