wget: Relative Links

1 4.4 Relative Links
1 ==================
1 
1 When ‘-L’ is turned on, only the relative links are ever followed.
1 Relative links are here defined those that do not refer to the web
1 server root.  For example, these links are relative:
1 
1      <a href="foo.gif">
1      <a href="foo/bar.gif">
1      <a href="../foo/bar.gif">
1 
1    These links are not relative:
1 
1      <a href="/foo.gif">
1      <a href="/foo/bar.gif">
1      <a href="http://www.example.com/foo/bar.gif">
1 
1    Using this option guarantees that recursive retrieval will not span
1 hosts, even without ‘-H’.  In simple cases it also allows downloads to
1 “just work” without having to convert links.
1 
1    This option is probably not very useful and might be removed in a
1 future release.
