Hi Victor,

Feature requests and general discussion should really go to the Wget
mailing list at address@hidden (I've added it to the recipients).

You're welcome to add that patch yourself, of course. We don't produce
binary packages anyway.

We are unlikely to add that feature for the official Wget releases (BTW,
the next release will most likely be numbered 1.12). I'd much rather see
a more general approach, where a separate program is used to convert
between FF3's sqlite db file and a traditional cookies.txt program: such
a solution would then be usable by any other program that needs to work
on cookies files.
