Follow-up Comment #2, bug #48811 (project wget): Hi Basin,
I'm new to the wget community, but I have looked through the program logic for ftp and http password and realized it is wrong. BEFORE changes Initially, search_netrc function was called first, and if it existed, the password was assigned to passwd, and used in the next logic step ( this is WRONG because if the user entered the password with --ask-password, then that should be given priority ). passwd = passwd ? passwd : ...... AFTER changes I have changed the logic such that it first sees if there is an --ask-password passwd stored, and if it is not there, then it uses the netrc password. I have attached the corresponding patch file to this. Please have a look :-) This would be my first contribution to wget (GNU) as well and so eagerly waiting for the code review!
