[Bug-wget] Returning the http status

[Tim Pizey]

Hi,

at the moment  (v 1.12) wget returns status 8   (Server issued an
error response) for any
non 200 status.

It would be really nice it the actual error status was returned.
That is an http status of 200 returned a bash status of 0, all other
statuses were returned unaltered.

(For what it is worth curl appears to return unix status 0 for 404
pages, I can at least check for status 8 with wget)


cheers
Tim
