If that fails then it falls back on the old method. The patch is attached, in what I hope is an acceptable format. Guess who forgot the attachment? Sorry! Nice patch. I think it can be improved by only sending the SIZE command if the file already exists (has a non-zero size, i.e. restval parameter in function getftp is non-zero). I have attached a slightly modified version of Dave Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED]' s patch to add the non-zero restval test, remove an unused variable 's' from function ftp_size, and I have created the patch using the command cvs diff -uR to make it relative to the current CVS sources for wget-1.7.1-pre1. Here is a ChangeLog entry for it: 2001-08-21 Dave Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ftp-basic.c (ftp_size): New function to send non-standard SIZE command to server to request file size. * ftp.h (ftp_size): Export it. * ftp.c (getftp): Use new ftp_size function if restoring transfer of a file with unknown size. wget-1.7.1-pre1-size-fix.patch

Re: WGET POST
is there a way to use HTTP POST with wget ?? Unfortunately, no. Wget doesn't support POSTs yet (only GETs). It will someday, I hope. If you search the wget mailing list archive, you'll find a couple source code patches which have implemented the POST capability in wget, but they have not been accepted for whatever reason by Hrovje, the wget source maintainer and lead developer. If you absolutely need POST functionality in wget right away, I could forward some of these source code patches to you. I have no idea if they work or not, and I cannot assist you with them. You're welcome to try, however. Please e-mail me directly (not the mailing list) and I will forward them to you. Your other option would be to find another program which has this capability. I believe curl does. Check out http://curl.haxx.se/ for more information. Hope this helps, Ed
