Hi,

There seems to have been a change in behaviour in wget between 1.10.2 and
1.11. 

I've got a script which downloads a logfile from something similar to
ftp://ftp.username.myby.co.uk/../logs/logfile.txt. This used to work fine,
until version 1.11.

Now it doesn't seem to understand the /../ part of the URL any more and so
complains that directory htdocs/logs does not exit. Where htdocs is the
'home' directory of my ftp login, and logs is a directory at the same level.

Is this a bug? Is there a workaround (apart from reverting back to 1.10.2
which I've done for the moment)?

Thanks,

Richard
