One part that I dont really understand is: blah?foo=bar links into blah@foo=bar having a link such as blah@foo=bar is not going to work to link to the second document...right? (I have not really tried it, but have never seen html like the above) And lastly, I read on another forum discussing wget that there is a switch that converts the dynamic pages to static WITH a .html/.htm extention; unfortunatly he didnt give an example of how to do this, was he just blowing smoke or is that true?
