Man page says:
       -i file
       --input-file=file
           Read URLs from file.  If - is specified as file, URLs are read from
           the standard input.  (Use ./- to read from a file literally named
           -.)

           If this function is used, no URLs need be present on the command
           line.  If there are URLs both on the command line and in an input
           file, those on the command lines will be the first ones to be
           retrieved.  The file need not be an HTML document (but no harm if
           it is)---it is enough if the URLs are just listed
           sequentially.

Say if you don't use --force-html then it better not be HTML!

           However, if you specify --force-html, the document will be regarded
           as html.  In that case you may have problems with relative links,
           which you can solve either by adding "<base href="url">" to the
           documents or by specifying --base=url on the command line.

Also one can't use -i file:///bla.html
