hi,
while trying to test if a file exists using wget with option --spider,
I get a 404 error although using wget without any options (just to
download the file) completes successfully. This is rather annoying as
I'm trying to implement an auto-update functionality that would
periodically perform such a check. Any reason why this is not working?
Any hopes to make it possible soon since the question has already been
asked more than a year ago? :-/

this will return a 404:
wget --spider 
http://swemods.googlecode.com/files/samba-swe3-0.9beta1-patch01.tgz

this will return a 200:
wget http://swemods.googlecode.com/files/samba-swe3-0.9beta1-patch01.tgz

Thanks,
Pascal
