[Bug-wget] Issue with --content-on-error and --convert-links

[Joe Hoyle]

Hi All,


I’m having issues using "--convert-links” in conjunction with 
"--content-on-error”. Though "--content-on-error” is forcing wget to download 
the pages, the links to that “errored” page is not update in other pages that 
link to it.


This seems to be hinted at in the man page:


"Because of this, local browsing works reliably: if a linked file was 
downloaded, the link will refer to its local name; if it was not downloaded, 
the link will refer to its full Internet address rather than presenting a 
broken link. The fact that the former links are converted to relative links 
ensures that you can move the downloaded hierarchy to another directory.”


However, it would seem in the case of using —content-on-error it should ignore 
this rule and do all the link substation anyhow.


If anyone knows if this *should* work then I’d be eager to hear it, or any 
other way I can get any 404 pages downloaded and also linked to in the wget 
mirror.


Thanks!
