Re: Troubles with mirroring.

2005-04-14 Thread Andrzej
 I only want to mirror a web site, which content is on two different 
 servers (different domains), and do not want to mirror parent 
 directories.
 It seems that it would be good if -np option would work for settings in 
 the -I option and/or in -D options should be possible to put not only 
 domains but domains with paths to directories.

Because there are no replies I assume that Wget cannot do it.

So, please, answer at least to that question now: will you enhance/modify Wget 
somehow, so that in the next release it could do it?

Cheers!

The next release is in the feature freeze, so it will almost certainly
not support this feature.

However, IMHO it makes a lot of sense to augment -I/-D with paths.
I've never been really satisfied with the interaction of -D and -np
anyway.

 Can you estimate when and in what version it will be available?

Unfortunately not.  Wget is run by volunteers, and if this extension
is not interesting enough for a programmer to pick it up, it won't
get done.

The best way to make it happen is to write the code yourself, or
convince/hire a programmer do it for you.

I think it is very interesting and first of all useful. Without it the 
real, smooth, fully automatic mirroring of web sites, which have their 
content on several servers/domains is just not possible. That's a huge 
disadvantage IMHO, that Wget cannot do it.

I would if I could. :(

And that's exactly what I'm trying to do here on the list. :)

Ideas are even more important that just coding, because without ideas 
there would be no coding. :P 
So I'm giving you some ideas, and someone skilled in coding (maybe you as 
the inventor of Wget? :)) would write the code. Well, I do hope so.

Cheers!
