For example: We have now made an installation of cvsweb. It is accessible from: http://SunSITE.dk/cvsweb Unspeakably cool! Thanks for this. I just noticed one bug: the `diff' cvsweb executes does not appear to be GNU diff, so most of the diff options (colored diff, unidiff, side-by-side) fail to work. Please make sure to have GNU diff somewhere on the machine, and that cvsweb's PATH points to that one.
Feature Idea
Hey guys - I've got an idea for a new feature I'd like to add to wget.
I'd like a way to specify a program to be run that can filter the URLs
just before they are fetched. I'd like this so that I could use wget to
do recursive retrievals against Google's web cache. This would be useful
for restoring deleted web sites, reading sites under heavy load, etc.
Something like this was my first shot:
wget -r "http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.tregar.com/"
That works fine for the first page but the page that comes back contains
links that refer to www.tregar.com, not Google's cache. My solution,
given the proposed feature, would be something like:
wget -r --url-filter=google.pl \
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.tregar.com/"
Where google.pl would be something like (assuming the url comes in
through STDIN and goes out through STDOUT and minus error checking):
#!/usr/bin/perl
while(STDIN) {
s!^http://!!;
print "http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:$_\n";
Another possible implementation would be to include a regex engine in wget
and allow the user to specify the filter as a regex. This obviously makes
for less powerful filters but might be more UNIXy.
Reactions?
