Hello Tim,

The 3 pages used during my tests are the following :

form.html:<html>
form.html:    <body>
form.html:        <form action="./post.html" >
form.html:            <input name="ff" />
form.html:        </form>
form.html:    </body>
form.html:</html>

post.html:<html>
post.html:    <body>
post.html:        <a href="./link.html" />
post.html:    </body>
post.html:</html>

link.html:<html>
link.html:    <body>
link.html:        <a href="./form.html" />
link.html:    </body>
link.html:</html>
I tried to download all the three pages with recursive mode using the following command but only the first page was downloaded (form.html) : 

$ wget -r http://127.0.0.1/form.html


Regards,

Florian

Hi folk,
I have question about recursive downloading of webpages. Trying to download all pages from a website using recursing option (--recursive) on wget 1.21, the webpages processing seems to don't follow form "action" attributs of "form" tags. 

- Does it be the expecting behavior?
- Is there a combination of options to download all pages of a website with the attribut "action"? 


Exemple with 3 HTML pages :
- Page 1 - form.html : HTML form with "action" attribut pointing to "Page 2" 
- Page 2 - post.html : HTML page with a link to "Page 3".
- Page 3 - link.html : HTML page without link.
I tried this command to download all tree pages but only "Page 1" was downloaded: 

$ wget -r https://host/form.html


I tried "--follow-tags=form" option but the same behavior was observed.


Generally, Wget supports form tags with action attributes.
So maybe you encounter malformed HTML or there is a bug in Wget.
Could you please give us a copy of that page, or at least the HTML part containing the form tags ? 

Regards, Tim
