Re: regarding wget and gsoc

[Siddhant Goel]

Hi.
I couldn't gather much from the wget source code; so want to put up some
questions.
1. Does this necessarily have to be a change in the code of wget? Or
something separate?
2. If it does, could you please tell me the files I should look into, to get
started. I have the general solution in mind, but to implement I need to
know where to start. :)
One thing I had in mind. Does grepping the database file, each time a
download has to be made, sound good? This way you could check easily for
every issue mentioned here -

Thanks,
Siddhant

 Hi!
 I am Siddhant Goel, a student from India. I browsed through the list of
 mailing lists, but couldn't find the right one to put up this query
 there. Hope you could find time for this.
 I saw the wget related entry (
 http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas.html#wget ) on the GSoC
 page for GNU, and I am really interested in it. The only problem I am
 facing is, I am a bit new to GNU/Linux; I've been using it for around
 6,7 months now. I saw the *wishlist* for this feature in wget, and I
 think I can very well implement it, being provided the necessary
 guidance. I learn fast. :)
 Could you please take out 5 minutes and tell me how complex it could
 get, for someone with moderate knowledge of bash, relatively new to
 databases, and moderate knowledge of GNU/Linux internals.

Hi. Probably the Wget discussion list (wget@sunsite.dk) would've been
appropriate for this (I've copied the list).

It appears that you forgot to mention which feature you were interested
in implementing, so I'm not sure how much information I could provide
about it. ;)
