Hi, I am forwarding you this bug. I can reproduce this on 1.8.1
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=117774&repeatmerged=yes --- wget seems to always return 0 as return code even when it fails, but only AFAIK when using some wildcard char in the URL. For example: spiney:~ $ wget --use-proxy=off "ftp://this.should.be.enough.spiney.org/README?"; --14:18:18-- ftp://this.should.be.enough.spiney.org/README? => `.listing' Connecting to this.should.be.enough.spiney.org:21... this.should.be.enough.spiney.org: Host not found unlink: No such file or directory spiney:~ $ echo $? 0 spiney:~ $ wget --use-proxy=off "ftp://this.should.be.enough.spiney.org/README*"; --14:19:12-- ftp://this.should.be.enough.spiney.org/README* => `.listing' Connecting to this.should.be.enough.spiney.org:21... this.should.be.enough.spiney.org: Host not found unlink: No such file or directory spiney:~ $ echo $? 0 spiney:~ $ wget --use-proxy=off "ftp://this.should.be.enough.spiney.org/README"; --14:19:21-- ftp://this.should.be.enough.spiney.org/README => `README' Connecting to this.should.be.enough.spiney.org:21... this.should.be.enough.spiney.org: Host not found spiney:~ $ echo $? 1 spiney:~ $ -- Guillaume Morin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Marry me girl, be my only fairy to the world (RHCP)
