[Bug-wget] Planning update to wget. Should I upstream it?

[Richard Thomas]

Hi, hope this is the correct way to do this.

I want to be able to download a webpage and all its prerequisites and 
turn it into a multipart/related single file. Now, this requires 
identifying and changing URLs which, as most members of this list are 
no-doubt aware is a thorny problem. Fortunately, wget already does this 
as part of its -p and -k options. Unfortunately, though it's amazingly 
useful, it's difficult to use the output for what I want.

So I am planning on adding a way to implement this functionality 
directly into wget. Either I'll rewrite the links and filenames so that 
it's easy to piece together a multipart/related file from what is spit 
out or I'll have wget generate the multipart/related file itself 
(probably the latter or maybe both).

I was just wondering if I should bother trying to feed this back into 
the project if there's any interest. Also, any suggestions on ways I can 
make this as useful as possible are welcome.
