Re: wget2 | How to perform wget -L in wget2 (#604)

Maybe there is a misunderstanding (not sure tbh)

So just some background:
Remote access (through HTTP/HTTPS) is the same, no matter if a page uses 
absolute or relative links.
But local access (e.g. after downloading a website with wget -r/-m) differs. 
Relative links access files stored locally, absolute links will access the 
remote content via HTTP/HTTPS.

If you want to prevent the latter (remote access), use `--convert-links` when 
downloading a web site with `-r` or `-m`. In this case, every link in HTML 
pages will be converted into a relative one. Except the link could not be 
downloaded - in that case it will be converted into an absolute link.
