Re: wget input/output using stdin/stdout

[Darshit Shah]

Hi Dan,

For this usecase, I would highly recommmend using the successor to GNU Wget, 
GNU Wget2. It is not available in most distribution repositories. See 
https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2

Wget2 supports reading from stdin throughout the life of the program.
