Follow-up Comment #4, bug #48811 (project wget): I have attached a patch file which solves this issue perfectly. But, other than that, I have a minor doubt on the priority problem, which can be looked into later.
The man page of wget itself says that --ask-password and --password are mutually exclusive, i.e they cannot be used simultaneously. I also ran a test case for it - wget --user=something --password=something2 --ask-password https://www.example.com ERROR MESSAGE : Cannot specify both --ask-password and --password. Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]... So, IMO we don't really have to worry about the priority between opt.http_passwd and opt.passwd? Is there any other reason why you think this should be done? And, that too for user, it is always command line argument ( there is no prompt for user as of I know ), so even in that, any order can be given. And, to my surprise it actually doesn't throw an error for giving both --user and --http-user arguments?! wget --http-user=something2 --http-password=something3 --ask-password www.example.com I think here, --http-password should get priority ( although these cases should throw an error? I could raise another issue? ). wget --user=something --http-password=something3 --ask-password www.example.com I think here, --ask-password gets priority So, shouldn't the password priority depend on what kind of username we get? ( whether it is general username --user or http username --http-user? ) Or is --ask-password only associated with --user, and NOT with --http-user or --ftp-user? To resolve unnecessary complications, like we discussed before, I have given higher priority to opt.passwd when opt.ask_passwd is set.
