    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The convert links process, and maybe recursive retrieval process are touching
embedded javascript code and mangling the code up a bit. Historically, I
believe wget stayed away from touching javascript.

I attempt to grab the following page using:


wget -rkE -l inf -P wget_test -D dimensionality.com
http://www.dimensionality.com/freebeeexamples/freebieexample1-javascript.html


The original source code includes the following line:


document.write("<img src=\"rw1");


After wget converts links, the line reads as:


document.write("<img
src="http://www.dimensionality.com/freebeeexamples/\&quot;rw1&quot;);"


Ideally this line should be left as is, untouched.

Tested on wget v1.16 custom compiled from savanna source, on GNU/Linux Debian
7, and package install of wget v1.18 on Cygwin.
