Arguably, HTTP time-stamping should be implemented using the
`If-Modified-Since' request.

-Wgetrc Location
-===============
-
- When initializing, Wget will look for a "global" startup file,
-`/usr/local/etc/wgetrc' by default (or some prefix other than
-`/usr/local', if Wget was not installed there) and read commands from
-there, if it exists.
-
- Then it will look for the user's file. If the environmental variable
-`WGETRC' is set, Wget will try to load that file. Failing that, no
-further attempts will be made.
-
- If `WGETRC' is not set, Wget will try to load `$HOME/.wgetrc'.
-
- The fact that user's settings are loaded after the system-wide ones
-means that in case of collision user's wgetrc *overrides* the
-system-wide wgetrc (in `/usr/local/etc/wgetrc' by default). Fascist
-admins, away!

resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a permission
