Any ideas to pass the "ERROR 400: Bad Request." of WGET?

Hello,

Although wget is very powerful, wget can hangs on anti-robot websites.
So something that works it to :

Code:

lynx -dump URL

but that

Code:

wget -k

I have to say is very handy and useful.

Any ideas how to make wget avoiding this ERROR 400 ?
