I recently updated my Arch Linux system and part of the update was wget 1.25 (previous was 1.24). I have a cronjob that uses wget to retrieve a web page with a -q option. As an example, I'll use gnu.org.
Old behavior: $ wget -q www.gnu.org <no output> New behavior: $ wget -q www,gnu.org Prepended http:// to www,gnu.org <written to stderr> The -q option will suppress messages even if the URL is invalid. It seems like an informational message of "Prepending http:// ..." should also be suppressed by -q The -o option does not suppress the message either. -- Ross -
