This is not really a bug, but more a usability annoyance, because it is not mentioned in the manual for usage of wget, I was trying to download pictures listed on an html page daily; but wget didn't seem to work on the images but downloading the rest of the page structure was fine. After many tries and some search I realised the pictures links were written as <A HREF="...">picture...</A>
The upper-case 'HREF' were not laken into account by the recursive download; only full lower case 'href' were taken into account; Href, hRef etc. wouldn't work either.

Anyway I ended up making my own script to browse the page for 'href'
tags insensitive to the case.

It would be good to make recursive retrievals case insensitive. Or else mention it in the manual :)
I haven't tested but I guess it's also case sensitive for other tags.. Because there is the 'ignore-case' option but it affects only filenames.
