[Bug-wget] [PATCH] Patch to change behavior with redirects under --recurse.

[Dale R. Worley]

This is the change that I'm interested in.  I don't expect this to be
put into the distribution without a lot of discussion.

This version changes the behavior of --recurse:  If a file is
downloaded, it will be scanned for links to follow.  This differs from
the current behavior, in which the URL from which the contents were
obtained (after any redirections) is further checked to see if that URL
passes the recursion limitations.

This patch also includes a test to verify the new behavior.

I worry that this is a substantial change of behavior.  OTOH, the
current behavior seems to be very unintuitive.  And the fact that there
is no test for this behavior suggests that people have not been
depending on it.

Comments?
