ID: 69292 User updated by: scott at perturb dot org Reported by: scott at perturb dot org Summary: Download links are not wget compatible Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: All PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It's more of an annoyance than a bug. I've worked around it in the past, using the method you describe. Or even more simply: wget http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror -o /tmp/php.tar.bz2 But I *always* forget the first time, and have to repeat it with the work around. It would be nice if it "just worked (tm)". Someone had the idea of making the download links wget compatible, because of the comment in the file: https://github.com/php/web-php/blob/master/error.php#L136 If we just re-ordered the elements in the download link, it would be wget compatible with minimal changes. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-03-24 23:29:30] c...@php.net In my opinion that is not a bug, but rather something that might be improved, if at all -- what's wrong with something like: FILE=php-5.3.29.tar.bz2;\ wget http://br1.php.net/get/$FILE/from/this/mirror;\ mv mirror $FILE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-03-24 20:33:53] scott at perturb dot org Description: ------------ I download the PHP release .tar.bz2 files from the php.net all the time to do testing. 99% of the time I navigate to the download page on my local machine, and copy and paste the URL in to a terminal on the server I want to compile on. The download URLs look like this: http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror which I then feed to wget: $ wget http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror --2015-03-24 08:58:06-- http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror Resolving br1.php.net (br1.php.net)... 187.73.33.52 ** [snipped] ** HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 11396771 (11M) [application/octet-stream] Saving to: âmirrorâ mirror 100%[========================>] 10.87M 1.22MB/s in 11s 2015-03-24 08:58:17 (1006 KB/s) - âmirrorâ saved [11396771/11396771] Note that the file that gets written to disk is "mirror" and not php-5.3.29.tar.bz2. It's a minor annoyance, but it seems really easily fixed. Test script: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- When I wget a URL from a server, it should have the right file name. Actual result: -------------- Wget uses the part of the URL after the last "/" as the output filename. Arguably this is a bug in Wget, but it's also something we can easily work around on the php-web side. Someone already thought of this, because there is mention of wget style download links in the code: https://github.com/php/web-php/blob/master/error.php#L136 If we remap the filename in the download URL to be at the END, it should solve this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69292&edit=1 -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
