wget2 server-response

[Hans Carlson]

I recently installed Fedora 40 and was a bit confused by the wget 
output... it seemed different.  After a bit of testing, I found the 
--server-response (-S) option didn't seem to work at all.  I downloaded 
the old wget (1.24.5), compiled and tested and got the results I expected.

Was the --server-response option not implemented in wget2 (it does show in 
the --help and man page).  Or is this a known bug?  Or am I doing 
something wrong?

See output for both wget2 and wget1 below.
