timestamping feature with different output file name

2006-02-16 Thread Martin Kos

hi

is there a way to use the timestamping future but to force wget to 
output the file to another filename? if i use only timestamping 
everything works fine, but if i use another output document 
(--output-document) it ignores the timestamps?


i used GNU Wget 1.9.1 from debian sarge.

i've just found this [1] open debian bug report. it's open since 26 Jul 
2003 and still not corrected in the recent version of wget :-(

BUG: timestamping and output file do not work together

2006-02-16 Thread Martin Kos

hi

i've just posted my comments on the mailinglist [1]. wget doesn't behave 
the right way if i use the out --output-document option and 
--timestamping together. wget tries to compare the url-file with the 
original file instead with the --output-document file.


why i got to this problem was because i need to download a file 
periodically and save it under another name then the original. (e.g. a 
webcam picture). i know that i could use (sym)links for that but it 
would be cleaner if it would work with wget directly.

   I'm curious.  Currently, -O may be used with multiple URLs on the
command line.  What would be the right way for this to work with -N?
