I'm sorry I haven't responded to this and your previous patch faster:

I'm doing a cleanup pass on wget and want to promote it this coming
release. (I may break out a toys/net directory and move ifconfig and
netcat and such into it.) Other todo items affected by this include
generic progress indicator code (the "count" command I submitted to
busybox back in 2003,
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2003-October/043590.html
turned into "pipe-progress", and since then a non-busybox version showed
up with 37 command line options, but I forget its name...)

This has been kind of time consuming because I'm reading the HTML RFCs,
but the real time consuming part has been that $DAYJOB is going through
a crisis and turned into an enormous time sink the past few weeks.

I've already switched -f to -O in my local copy. If work stops eating my
life I want to get an updated wget with https support checked in and
promoted soon.

Rob
