Re: [Bug-wget] "Referer" when using spider mode

[Darshit Shah]

Hi Fernando,

Once again, the answer is quite the same. You could parse the --debug output of
Wget to do this. Though, remember, parsing the debug is not always safe since
we may change it any point.

However, even for this case, I guess, using Wget2 is a better choice for you.
