Re: [Bug-wget] Bug #20330 rollback option

[Tim Ruehsen]

Hi Chris,

please give one or more (reproducible) cases that the patch would fix.

As I understand, there has clearly been a bug in a proxy - maybe that has been 
fixed during the last 9 years !? We should not add code that fixes an obscure 
and very rare bug that already has been fixed within the effected proxy.

you can shorten long command line options specifying only a prefix if it
doesn't collide with another one, in your case you can specify
--content-d (since wget has --content-on-error as well).
