I am running debian sarge, and the wget from sid (I upgraded in hopes it would be a bug that was fixed)
according to the wget-manual:
`-X list'
`--exclude list'
`exclude_directories = list'
`-X' option is exactly the reverse of `-I'---this is a list of directories excluded from the download. E.g. if you do not want Wget to download things from `/cgi-bin' directory, specify `-X /cgi-bin' on the command line.
yet,
wget --exclude-directories=wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands (and variations, like /wiki/,*wiki*, and others)
as well as -X, will download the file.
am I doing something wrong with the syntax, does exclude directories not mean what I think it means, or is this a bug?
