[Bug-wget] Need help using --spider option

[Avinash]

Hi All,

I am trying to use --spider option with an URL ending with '/'.
The error I am getting is, index.html not found.

Whereas, when I remove the --spider option, I can see wget automatically
downloads index.html and rest of the files referenced by the same URL.

Then, why can't wget automatically download index.html when --spider option
is specified ?
