Re: This version does not have support for IRIs

[Darshit Shah]

The options are always available. We cannot remove them since the man pages 
would then not match the actual  application. And multiple man pages is just 
not a good idea.

Whether or not the feature is actually supported is based on the compile time 
options. It seems like your version of Wget was compiled without IRI support. 
You would need to recompile it with support for IRIs if you want to use it
