Update of bug #23238 (project wget):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor              
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
         Planned Release:                    None => 1.13                   
              Regression:                     Yes => No

Follow-up Comment #1:

-O does not specify a directory, it specifies a file, to which all downloaded
content will be placed.

--no-clobber seems a very odd switch to use in combination with -O,
considering any clobbering will have been done before Wget even starts to
connect. But yeah, it shouldn't do its no-clobber checks anywhere other than
at the start, when -O is used.

Perhaps --no-clobber should simply be disallowed, as -N and -O currently
are.

Setting Regression -> No on this report, since 1.10.2 exhibits the same
behavior.
