[lug] Stupid WGET question

[George Sexton]

-E just tacks .html onto the end of the file name, after any query string.

-A doesn't work either.

It seems that wget has a default spec that it will download, and -A can just
limit those values.

I tried adding the file extension to the mime.types file entry for
text/html, but that didn't work either.
