Re: [Bug-wget] Query about correcting for DST with Wget

[gerdd]

One explanation I often found in the old days is this: People mess with the 
clock settings until they get the time they expect rather than setting the time 
zone and DST correctly. Should be hapening less frequently nowadays - my guess. 
But amateur admins of platforms they are not familiar with could still be doing 
it, I guess.

I used to have a lot of missed conference calls because of that - people 
invited me and the meeting ended up being an hour before or after the time in 
my invite. It gets worse if you mix different DST parameters with northern and 
southern hemisphere.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with wget, Windows or the server
hosting the file, but I observed this happening with
<https://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe> - while DST is in effect,
the file gets timestamp of 22:19, and when it's not it's 23:19 (I'm in
the CET timezone).

Being sure mistakes will occur is a good frame of mind for catching them.
