Well, it has been 'fixed' by not allowing -r in combination with -O- in wget1.x.

Wget2 already works with -r -O-.

This was eventually merged on 2015-08-15, commit 12bae50b28fa20f9ffa3d5b0e88f4ebf51fa6864.

Please, check whether the issue is effectively fixed, and close this.

I thought this is still a valid bug and wrote my patch.  I'm surprised to find Calore's patch in attached files and that patch is finished in Nov 2013!
Anyway, my patch is easier to am.

# wget -r -O - www.blankwebsite.com

hangs forever, I can verify it with a strace. If I do this:

while read R
do
   wget -r -O - www.blankwebsite.com
done < smallfile
with smallfile containing a single line, the command exits in a few seconds.

I tried also with

wget -r -O - localhost/test.html
with an empty test.html file, same results.

Everything runs fine changing -O - with -O myfile or removing -r.
