* Overview:: Features of Wget.
Don't use proxies, even if the appropriate @code{*_proxy} environment
variable is defined.
+@c man end
For more information about the use of proxies with Wget, @xref{Proxies}.
+@c man begin OPTIONS
@cindex quota
@item -Q @var{quota}
Now the best bet for downloading a single page and its requisites is the
dedicated @samp{--page-requisites} option.
+@cindex case fold
+@cindex ignore case
+@item --ignore-case
+Ignore case when matching files and directories. This influences the
+behavior of -R, -A, -I, and -X options, as well as globbing
+implemented when downloading from FTP sites. For example, with this
+option, @samp{-A *.txt} will match @samp{file1.txt}, but also
+@samp{file2.TXT}, @samp{file3.TxT}, and so on.
+
@item -H
@itemx --span-hosts
Enable spanning across hosts when doing recursive retrieving
Use @var{string} as @sc{https} proxy, instead of the one specified in
environment.
+@item ignore_case = on/off
+When set to on, match files and directories case insensitively; the
+same as @samp{--ignore-case}.
+
@item ignore_length = on/off
When set to on, ignore @code{Content-Length} header; the same as
@samp{--ignore-length}.

Special thanks goes to the following people (no particular order):
@itemize @bullet
-@item Mauro Tortonesi---contributed high-quality IPv6 code and many

-
@item Dan Harkless---contributed a lot of code and documentation of
extremely high quality, as well as the @code{--page-requisites} and
related options. He was the principal maintainer for some time and
