This is the to-do list for Wget. There is no timetable of when we plan to
implement these features -- this is just a list of things it'd be nice to see in
Wget. Patches to implement any of these items would be gladly accepted. The

-user-visible changes.

+* When simplifying paths, wget needs to stop at any '?' character.
* Add an option to not encode special characters like ' ' and '~' when saving
local files. Would be good to have a mode that encodes all special characters
* Fix Unix directory parser to allow for spaces in file names.
-* Allow size limit to files.
+* Allow size limit to files (perhaps with an option to download oversize files
+ up through the limit or not at all, to get more functionality than [u]limit.

bogus HTML found all over the 'net.
* Download to .in* when mirroring.
-* Add an option to delete or move no-longer-existent files when
- mirroring.
