Re: [Bug-wget] Question regarding WGET
are you executing wget from the c:\Windows\system32 directory? To prevent the file to be being written to the disk, you can specify -O NUL on the command line, never tried by myself but I remember it works under Windows. Giuseppe Itay Levin itay.le...@onsettechnology.com writes: I'm using it with the following notation: WGET http://www.mysite.com/a.aspx And I noticed that it downloads this page to c:\Windows\system32 folder that is being filling up with a.aspx, a.aspx.1 a.aspx.2 and so on... Are there any command line flags that I can use to prevent this files to being written to disk? Thanks, Itay Levin OnPage Priority Messaging Rise above the clutter(tm)!

Re: [Bug-wget] wget IDN support
Thanks to have reported these problems. I'll take a look at them in the
next few days.
Cheers,
Giuseppe

Current realisation of IDN support in wget not worked when system uses
UTF-8 locale.
Current realisation of function `url_parse' from src/url.c call
`remote_to_utf8' from src/iri.c and set `iri-utf8_encode' to returned
value.
Function `remote_to_utf8' can return false in two cases:
1. They can not convert string to UTF-8
2. Source text is same as result text
Second case appear when system use UTF-8 encoding.
This can be fixed in several places:
In src/url.c (url_parse) with adding comparing iri-orig_url with UTF-8
In src/iri.c (remote_to_utf8) with removing if (!strcmp (str, *new))
test at the end of function.
Or in src/iri.c (remote_to_utf8) with replacing return status when
result is same as input string.
Last variant can be written like this:
=== modified file 'src/iri.c'
--- src/iri.c 2011-01-01 12:19:37 +
+++ src/iri.c 2011-06-23 16:34:10 +
@@ -277,7 +277,7 @@
if (!strcmp (str, *new))
{
xfree ((char *) *new);
- return false;
+ *new = NULL;
}
return ret;
Also it can be a good idea to fix src/host.c(lookup_host) with replacing
usage `gethostbyname_with_timeout' by `getaddrinfo_with_timeout' and
using AI_IDN flag, if wget compiled with glibc version 2.3.4 or
newer. It can be helpful when wget compiled without iri support.

Second, as already reported, they don't follow HTML links. It could be a good idea to handle file:// as well. Giuseppe

Re: [Bug-wget] wget without http
Not to start an argument, but when you are discussing Free Software, please capitalize Free to distinguish it from software that doesn't cost money. It's confusing enough already. Also, since Erwin is running on Windows, I doubt that he is that concerned about using strictly Free Software.
