Package: wget Version: 1.10.2-2 Severity: normal hi
in my script /usr/share/mplayer/scripts/binary_codecs.sh I would like to use 'wget' to keep some files up-to-date Consider those commands $ cd /tmp $ MYSITE='http://people.debian.org/~mennucc1/mplayer' $ touch -d '1 Dec 1970' mirrors $ ls -l mirrors -rw-r--r-- 1 debdev debian 0 1970-12-01 00:00 mirrors $ wget -v -c -N $MYSITE/mirrors --12:13:59-- http://people.debian.org/~mennucc1/mplayer/mirrors => `mirrors' Resolving people.debian.org... 192.25.206.10 Connecting to people.debian.org|192.25.206.10|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 336 [text/plain] Remote file is newer, retrieving. --12:14:00-- http://people.debian.org/~mennucc1/mplayer/mirrors => `mirrors' Reusing existing connection to people.debian.org:80.

But now look at this: $ touch -d '1 Dec 1970' mirrors $ ls -l mirrors -rw-r--r-- 1 debdev debian 336 Dec 1 1970 mirrors $ wget -v -c -N $MYSITE/mirrors --12:15:16-- http://people.debian.org/~mennucc1/mplayer/mirrors => `mirrors' Resolving people.debian.org... 192.25.206.10 Connecting to people.debian.org|192.25.206.10|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Argh! 'wget' checks the size but not the timestamp! Instead I checked that '-N' alone works: $ wget -v -N $MYSITE/mirrors --12:16:24-- http://people.debian.org/~mennucc1/mplayer/mirrors => `mirrors' Resolving people.debian.org... 192.25.206.10 Connecting to people.debian.org|192.25.206.10|:80... connected.
