[Bug-wget] Bug and Solution to Bug
Hello, I found a bug in wget and I also found the solution to the bug. Here is a description. I have two Ethernet interfaces. 1) local/private and 2) public Ethernet interface. By default wget fails because it binds locally on my local/private Ethernet interface when connecting to the Internet !!! BUG Note, I use DHCP to get my public IP address and I hard code my local/private IP address. To get around the bug: I needed to manually tell wget to locally bind on the public Ethernet interface. Then it works fine. Here is my solution (with a little debugging added on). wget --inet4-only --debug --verbose --bind-address=77.110.21.210 http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/ http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/oinkmaster.cgi/%3cmyOinkCode%3e/snortrules-sna pshot-2905.tar.gz myOinkCode/snortrules-snapshot-2905.tar.gz Note: Im using wget from Vyattas latest release - Debian. Here is the startup message: vyatta@Vyatta1:~$ show system boot-messages [0.00] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset [0.00] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu [0.00] Linux version 2.6.37-1-586-vyatta-virt (root@vyatta) (gcc versi 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-8) ) #1 SMP Thu Jul 7 22:30:24 PDT 2011 Could you please let me know if this is a known bug or a new bug?

Re: [Bug-wget] Wget 1.13.4 v. VMS -- Various problems
[Various other changes/fixes affecting VMS] Still wondering. For the curious, a set of patches should be available at: http://antinode.info/ftp/wget/wget-1_13_4/1_13_4_1.dru That includes the changes to rehabilitate --preserve-permissions. News: The --help output now has one line which exceeds 80 characters: --random-wait wait from 0.5*WAIT...1.5*WAIT secs between retr ievals. Note, too, that, to a casual reader, it's not entirely clear what WAIT refers to here. -w, --wait=SECONDSwait SECONDS between retrievals. --waitretry=SECONDS wait 1..SECONDS between retries of a retrieval. Possibly SECONDS from one of those? Might be easier (or messier) if --random-wait could take a time value, too. Steven M.

I had trouble getting your screenshot it was embedded as base64, but didn't show as an attachment. You don't show which wget version you are using, but in those places there are quotes, so it's either ` ' or “” (smart quotes), for which putty doesn't seem to show an appropiate glyph. Anyway, the lack of proper appearance of those quotation marks doesn't affect wget functionality.
