re: HTTPS redirect (302) not working in 1.9.1 (works in 1.8.2)
I am trying to use wget 1.9.1 to download a file using https. The initial request URL is a script that redirects to another file in the same domain. If I try this using normal http, it works - the first request returns a 302 response, and wget follows the new URL to download the file. If I try this with https, it doesn't work. The 302 response comes back and it looks like wget is trying to follow to the new URL, but after that it just hangs - no error message or anything, just hangs. Note that this happens both in Linux and Windows versions of wget 1.9.1 (with SSL libraries included) I then downloaded version 1.8.2, and the same request works properly, i.e. even against https, the 302 response is followed correctly and it downloads the file. I'm not sure what could be causing this, but a publically available URL to trace the problem would help. Also, could you try if the same happens with Wget 1.10-rc1, available at ftp://ftp.deepspace6.net/pub/ds6/sources/wget/wget-1.10-rc1.tar.gz Thanks for the report.

Re: Small bug in Wget manual page

Other than that, the manual is terrific! Wget is wonderful also. I don't know what I would do without it. --protocol-directories Use the protocol name as a directory component of local file names. For example, with this option, wget -r http://host will save to http/host/... rather than just to host/ Disable generation of host-prefixed directories. By default, invoking Wget with -r http://fly.srk.fer.hr/ will create a structure of directories beginning with fly.srk.fer.hr/. This option disables such behavior. this seems to be already fixed in the 1.10 documentation. -- Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem...
