Welcome Avinash !

Oh yes, I wish I had some more time to do that... :-)

wget.addictivecode.org is for Wget1.x only.

There is not yet a similar doc, but it is time to write it. This is low 
hanging fruit #1 :-) If you find some time to start a document, maybe during 
the process of diving into the code, that would be highly appreciated.
Best place maybe is the wiki pages, https://github.com/rockdaboot/
wget2.wiki.git. Or start a wiki page in your cloned repo, if you don't have 
access to edit our wiki (I'll check the perms).

- issue #143 (you already started that)
- issue #44 (HTML entities)
- issue #43 (Cookie extensions)
- improve test code coverage (see 'make check-coverage')
- add missing cli options from wget1.x (ignore ftp and WARC options), see 
https://github.com/rockdaboot/wget2/wiki for a list.
- docs

Have fun !
