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.


Regards,

Florian
