Hi Wgeteers!

I understand that -C off as short for --cache=off
was dropped, right?
However, the wget.html that comes with Herold's
Windows binary mentions only
   --no-cache
and the wgetrc option
   cache = on/off
I just tried
1.9+cvs-dev-200404081407 unstable development version
and
--cache=off still works.
I think this is not the latest cvs version and
possibly the manual will be updated accordingly.
But I think it would be nice to mention
that --cache=off still works for backwards compatibility.

I am aware that there are bigger tasks (LFS)
currently, I just stumbled over this "issue" and
thought I'd mention it.

I hope I am not missing something!
Jens
