trouble with -p
Hello, If you do wget http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G then you get an HTML file called iPhone3G. But if you do wget -p http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G then you get a directory called iPhone3G. This makes sense if you look at the links in the HTML file, like /Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G/images/3jYKHyIVrAHnG4Br-standard.jpg But of course I want both. Is there a way of getting wget -p to do something clever, like renaming the HTML file? I've looked through wget(1) /usr/share/doc/wget the comments in the 1.10.2 source without seeing anything relevant. Thanks, Brian Keck

I've looked through wget(1) /usr/share/doc/wget the comments in the 1.10.2 source without seeing anything relevant. That strikes me as not quite right. If Wget sees http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G, and it's not redirected to http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G/, then Wget will use a file name. What's more, if it later sees it with the slash, it will fail to create a directory at all, since the file already exists with that pathname. I'm not sure what you mean by I want both. You can't possibly have a regular file named iPhone3G, and another file named iPhone3G/images/... it can't be both a file and a directory at once. If you specify the link with a trailing slash, then Wget will realize iPhone3G is a directory, and will store the file it finds there as iPhone3G/index.html. You're out of luck, though, if some links refer to it with, and some without, the trailing slash, with a server that doesn't redirect to the slash version (like Apache does). - -- Micah J.

He means that, when the -p option is given, he wants to mangle either the created filename or the created directory name so that both do in fact get created on the filesystem and all related files get saved. Perhaps delaying the initial open(2) until after parsing the first document and then pretending that the initial URL had a trailing solidus might work? -JimC -- James Cloos [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6

And that wouldn't solve the problem if it happens not to appear that way in the links immediately contained within. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?23756 covers my solution for handling this. The easy workaround for now, though, would be to supply the URL with the solidus in the first place, though as mentioned, I'm not sure that will work if it then later encounters a version without the solidus. - -- Micah J.
