Probably I must have missed something, because using `--recursive --page-requisites --no-parent` does indeed do what I want. Strange, I could swear it was behaving differently before.

Just remove --recursive and you get what you want.
Keep in mind that wget doesn't run Javascript, so no dynamic created requisites can be downloaded.

Okay, I've got an example:

wget --recursive --page-requisites --convert-links --adjust-extension https://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/book/

I would like to download everything under this path: "/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/book/", in this example index.html is the only page, but if there was a second html page linked from index, that would be downloaded too.

Plus anything page requisites from other paths, like "../../../cdn-cgi/" but not other pages, like html documents in "/blog/".

Little correction: the "...is no reference..." should be "... no page requisite..."

Maybe I was a bit unclear, sorry for that.

In your document (http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/osfreesoft/book/) is no reference to any other resource on the same domain (www.oreilly.com).

So to download anything with --page-requisite, you'll need -H.

Without it, you just get your index.html and that's it. You didn't request anything else.

So what exactly do you want. Please make a list of documents/resources you would like to see in the end. With that we also have a potential test case, if it comes to implement a new feature.

Thanks for your answer, but it's missing the point of the original question.

I basically want to download everything under the current folder (recursive, no parent) but i also want to download css/js that are on the same domain but higher in the hierarchy (page requisites, recursive).

You understand what I mean? For example, in the previous example I'd like to download css/js and the linked pdf files.

Then you won't need --recursive.
And looking at that page: the links all go to different domains - so will need -H as well.

wget -H --page-requisites http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/osfreesoft/book/

does the job for me:

Well, I don't want to download a whole site!

Example:
wget --recursive --page-requisites http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/osfreesoft/book/

It will start downloading everything that is linked on the page, not just the current directory.

Why don't you leave away --no-parent then ?

--page-requisites alone should do what you want.

When using `--no-parent` and `--page-requisites`, if the page requires images or other requisites from that domain but higher in hierarchy, it will not proceed to download those requisites because of the `no-parent` option. While `no-parent` is useful for web pages (without it you download a whole site, especially if you `--mirror`) so it would be good to have an extra option to allow downloading page requisites that are higher in the hierarchy.
