Subject: [Wget-dev] wget2 | Follow-up from "Fix for -p -nc Bug": We need more tests for this (#431)

New Issue was created.

Issue 431: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/issues/431
Author:    Tim Rühsen
Assignee:  

>From 'man wget':
```
          When running Wget with -r or -p, but without -N, -nd, or -nc, 
re-downloading a file will result in the new copy simply
           overwriting the old.  Adding -nc will prevent this behavior, instead 
causing the original version to be preserved and any
           newer copies on the server to be ignored.

           When running Wget with -N, with or without -r or -p, the decision as 
to whether or not to download a newer copy of a file
           depends on the local and remote timestamp and size of the file.  -nc 
may not be specified at the same time as -N.
```

So maybe we even need more tests (all combinations of -N, -r and -nc). At least 
we should follow the documented wget1.x behavior for backwards compatibility.
