And why does wget feel the need to generate its own hosts file inmy home directory??

@will@twtxt.net Do you mean the directories it creates when doing recursive retrieval? You can use the --no-directories option to stop that behavior.

@mckinley@twtxt.net It creates a file valled wget-hsts or something

@will@twtxt.net Oh, that’s for HTTP Strict Transport Security. --no-hsts will stop that behavior.

Hm, my references to command line options are hyperlinks to the man page but nothing is indicating that that’s the case.

@mckinley@twtxt.net thanks!
