Subject: wget'ing files relative paths?

I'm trying to wget some very specific files off a web page, but some of the paths are relative paths (e.g. ../path/to/file) rather than abosolute (e.g. http://direct/path/to/file ). Obviously, when wget gets to that part, it craps out...

 

I am a little unsure on what you are trying to do...are you mirroring a certain section of a website, and the relative paths are causing problems? that would be pretty strange, because I am pretty sure that i have done that before and not had any problems (just using wget -m http://hostname/path/I/care/about/file.html).

 

or do you have a list of URL's you are trying to grab (say in a file or something), that only have the relative paths? something like this:

  http://direct/path/to/file1

  http://direct/path/to/file2

  http://direct/path/to/file3

  http://direct/path/to/file4

  ../../file5

  ../../file6

 

 

if possible, it would be great if you could show the exact command line that you are using, along with the exact error message.

 

Is there a switch in wget (in CentOS 5 - latest wget package) that lets me maintain this session?  I tried some of the options here ( http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/HTTP-Options.html ), but it's not working, and I'm hoping someone here might point me in the right direction.
