You are aware that you can put all options as 'commands' into a config file !?
The default is ~/.wgetrc but you can override it with WGETRC env variable.
If that isn't enough, you can override the above with --config=<file> (or --no-
config).

Use WGETRC and specify 'hstsfile' in that config file to point somewhere 
outside 
the home dir.
