Package: wget Version: 1.12-1.1 Severity: normal
When using recursive retrieval with recursive accept/reject, the accept/reject patterns are applied against both remote file names and saved file names. This is documented behavior, and also documented as controversial. However, it turns out that the patterns are also applied against the argument of -O, when given. That is, my selection of which files to download limits my options of naming the one file I want to download them all into. If this is not clear, consider this session, quote: """ $ wget 'http://glz.co.il/NewsIndexSub.aspx?NewsCatId=44' -O x.html -r --level=1 -A'newsArticle.aspx' WARNING: combining -O with -r or -p will mean that all downloaded content will be placed in the single file you specified. --2010-01-19 23:12:49-- http://glz.co.il/NewsIndexSub.aspx?NewsCatId=44 Resolving glz.co.il... 192.117.152.67 Connecting to glz.co.il|192.117.152.67|:80... connected.
