Zope's not too hot on this either what with index_html instead of
index.html the problem of "is /something' a 'file' or a 'folder' from
wget's point of view?"

IIRC, it currently would download a zope folder object as a single file
:(

I've also been bitten by this in Wiki's since links aren't generated
with absolute_url and so I sometimes get
/MyWikiFolder/OneWikiPage/AnotherWikiPage which throws up a nasty
__getitem__ exception (particularly in Netscape, which seems to like
appending / onto the end of FrontPage in the URL box...)

cheers,
