wget bug report

[A.Jones]

Sorry for the crosspost, but the wget Web site is a little confusing on the 
point of where to send bug reports/patches.

Just installed wget 1.10 on Friday. Over the weekend, my scripts failed with 
the 
following error (once for each wget run):
Assertion failed: wget_cookie_jar != NULL, file http.c, line 1723
Abort - core dumped

All of my command lines are similar to this:
/home/programs/bin/wget -q --no-cache --no-cookies -O /home/programs/etc/alte_se
iten/xsr.html 'http://www.enterasys.com/download/download.cgi?lib=XSR'

After taking a look at it, i implemented the following change to http.c and 
tried again. It works for me, but i don't know what other implications my 
change 
might have.

wget bug report

[Corey Henderson]

I sent this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as directed in the wget man page, but it 
bounced and said to try this email address.

This bug report is for GNU Wget 1.8.2 tested on both RedHat Linux 7.3 and 9

rpm -q wget
wget-1.8.2-9

When I use a wget with the -S to show the http headers, and I use the spider switch as 
well, it gives me a 501 error on some servers.

The main example I have found was doing it against a server running ntop.

http://www.ntop.org/

You can find an RPM for it at:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/586625/com/ntop-2.2-0.dag.rh90.i386.rpm.html

You cean search with other parameters at rpm.pbone.net to get ntop for other version 
of linux

So here is the command and output:

wget -S --spider http://SERVER_WITH_NTOP:3000

HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
 1 HTTP/1.0 501 Not Implemented
 2 Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2004 07:08:24 GMT
 3 Cache-Control: no-cache
 4 Expires: 0
 5 Connection: close
 6 Server: ntop/2.2 (Dag Apt RPM Repository) (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
 7 Content-Type: text/html
21:11:56 ERROR 501: Not Implemented.

I get a 501 error. echoing the $? shows an exit status of 1

When I don't use the spider, I get the following:

wget -S http://SERVER_WITH_NTOP:3000

HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
 1 HTTP/1.0 200 OK

21:13:04 (1.16 MB/s) - `index.html' saved [1214/1214]



The exit status was 0 and the index.html file was downloaded.

If this is a bug please fix it in your next release of wget. If it is not a bug, I 
would appriciate a brief explination as to why.

Thank You
