Hi!

Recent luarocks (package manager for Lua) use `wget --no-cache ...` to
fetch data.
Wonder whether it's feasible if I provide a patch for busybox to take
and ignore "--no-cache" long option?

TIA,

good idea, while you're at it you could also add an option so that wget ignores --no-check-certificate

in gnu wget, it is not important if you place --options before or after the url, but bb wget fails.

instead of ignoring unimplemented switches, it aborts and breaks your scripts.

another broken thing in busybox wget is the -c switch which should enable resuming of incomplete downloads, but when this option is used with a server that doesnt support REST it will fail to download at all. iirc this happened with the zlib.net server.

--JS
