RE: Wget 1.6 Microsoft Windows binary
Sigh. Geocities munched everything and *should* have restored it for now. Although it was only a single simple (Very) page I felt quite attached to it and stupidly didn't have a backup. Get the binary from http://www.geocities.com/hmantemp/, I'll restore something to the original site asap. Heiko PREVINET S.p.A.

Re: wget 1.6 problems with FTP globbing through a Squid firewall
Paul Eggert [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: * A command like wget -rl1 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/' -A'tz*.tar.gz' is less natural than wget 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tz*.tar.gz'. Yes. I feel that the Right Thing would be for Wget to DWIM and translate the glob pattern into a -A form when required. I might attempt to implement something like that for the next release, but I'm not sure if that can work in the general case -- merging the glob with a bunch of existing -R/-A options might be non-trivial. Sorry, I don't understand this point. I thought that (in principle, at least) wget should interpret file name globbing consistently, regardless of whether it is using a proxy. It's true that this should be the case, but that's not the current situation. Currently if you want to retrieve a '*' file from FTP, you have to use '\*', whereas on HTTP '*' will suffice and '\*' will retrieve literal '\*'. I will try to consolidate all this for the next release. (Please understand that I am not complaining -- I'm just trying to help wget get better.) Don't worry, I'm taking your comments in good spirit!
fooling around...
in a moment of madness. Windows binary pre-1.7 is involved, so beware. First problem: possibly there is some problem in the win binary related to cookies, with a large cookies.txt file (500) wget does seem to segfault (Memory could not be read...) while loading the cookies. However I haven't been yet able to pin it down further except it doeasn't happen with the same cookies.txt on linux (same version of wget). OTOH, consider www.goofball.com, create a login, login with the remember me checkbox set, take the cookies and put them in a separate file, say cookies2.txt . Will be something like .goofball.com TRUE/ FALSE 1300736097 gbperm number .goofball.com TRUE/ FALSE 1937832397 password your password in plain text .goofball.com TRUE/ FALSE 1937832397 username your userid .goofball.com TRUE/ FALSE 991831757 gbsession number Now try to index the whole site with something like wget --load-cookies=cookies2.txt --save-cookies=cookies2s.txt-e robots=off -nc -e timestamping=off -v -a html.log -r -l0 -Ahtm,html -X/searchbin http://www.goofball.com wget does seem to go into a infite loop, trying to load /index.html over and over again. I expect it to load every page once only, even if generated on the fly without timestamps (due to no timestamping, -r and no-clobber). Either I don't understand something in the manual or (I fear) there's a bug. Anyone ?

It would be of great help if you could run Wget under a debugger and pinpoint at which line the problem happens. It is quite possible that Wget has a bug that only shows under Windows. I'll take a look at the goofball thing.
