RE: Newbie Question - DNS Failure
I installed wget on a HP-UX box using the depot package. Which depot package? (Anyone can make a depot package.) Depot package came from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/wget-1.10.2/ Which wget version (wget -V)? 1.10.2 Built how? Installed using swinstall Running on which HP-UX system type? RP-5405 OS version? HP-UX B.11.11 Resolving www.lambton.on.ca... failed: host nor service provided, or not known. First guess: You have a DNS problem, not a wget problem. Can any other program on the system (Web browser, nslookup, ...) resolve names any better? Nslookup and ping work wonderfully. Sorry, I should have mentioned that the first time. Second guess: If DNS works for everyone else, I'd try building wget (preferably a current version, 1.10.2) from the source, and see if that makes any difference. (Who knows what name resolver is linked in with the program in the depot?) Started to try that and got some error messages during the build. I may need to re-investigate. Third guess: Try the ITRC forum for HP-UX, but you'll probably need more info than this there, too: http://forum1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/familyhome.do?familyId=117 Thanks, I'll check. Steven M.

[...] Started to try that and got some error messages during the build. I may need to re-investigate. As usual, it might help if you showed what you did, and what happened when you did it. Data like which compiler (and version) could also be useful. On an HP-UX 11.23 Itanium system, starting with my VMS-compatible kit (http://antinode.org/dec/sw/wget.html;, which shouldn't matter much here), I seemed to have no problems building using the HP C compiler, other than getting a bunch of warnings related to socket stuff, which seem to be harmless. (Built using CC=cc ./configure and make.) td176 cc -V cc: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.13 [Nov 27 2006] And I see no obvious name resolution problems: td176 ./wget http://www.lambton.on.ca --23:42:04-- http://www.lambton.on.ca/ = `index.html' Resolving www.lambton.on.ca... 192.139.190.140 Connecting to www.lambton.on.ca|192.139.190.140|:80... failed: Connection refuse d. d176 ./wget -V GNU Wget 1.10.2c built on hpux11.23. [...] That's on an HP TestDrive system, which is behind a restrictive firewall, which, I assume, explains the connection problem. (At least it got an IP address for the name.) And it's not the same OS version, and who knows which patches have been applied to either system?, and so on. Steven M.

Newbie Question - DNS Failure
I installed wget on a HP-UX box using the depot package. Now when I run wget it will not resolve DNS queries. wget http://192.139.190.140 http://192.139.190.140/ works. wget http://www.lambton.on.ca http://www.lambton.on.ca/ fails with the following error: # wget http://www.lambton.on.ca --17:21:22-- http://www.lambton.on.ca/ = `index.html' Resolving www.lambton.on.ca... failed: host nor service provided, or not known. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Terry Terry Babbey - Technical Support Specialist Information Educational Technology Department Lambton College, Sarnia, Ontario, CANADA
Re: newbie question
Hi Alan! As the URL starts with https, it is a secure server. You will need to log in to this server in order to download stuff. See the manual for info how to do that (I have no experience with it). Good luck Jens (just another user) I am having trouble getting the files I want using a wildcard specifier (-A option = accept list). The following command works fine to get an individual file: wget https://164.224.25.30/FY06.nsf/($reload)/85256F8A00606A1585256F900040A32F/$FILE/160RDTEN_FY06PB.pdf However, I cannot get all PDF files this command: wget -A *.pdf https://164.224.25.30/FY06.nsf/($reload)/85256F8A00606A1585256F900040A32F/$FILE/ Instead, I get: Connecting to 164.224.25.30:443 . . . connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response . . . 400 Bad Request 15:57:52 ERROR 400: Bad Request. I also tried this command without success: wget https://164.224.25.30/FY06.nsf/($reload)/85256F8A00606A1585256F900040A32F/$FILE/*.pdf Instead, I get: HTTP request sent, awaiting response . . . 404 Bad Request 15:57:52 ERROR 404: Bad Request. I read through the manual but am still having trouble. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Alan -- +++ NEU: GMX DSL_Flatrate!

Neither wget nor the server you're contacting understand *.pdf in a URI. In the case of wget, it is designed to read web pages (HTML files) and then collect a list of resources that are referenced in those pages, which it then retrieves. In the case of the web server, it is designed to return individual objects on request (X.pdf or Y.pdf, but not *.pdf). Some web servers will return a list of files if you specify a directory, but you already tried that in your first use case. Try coming at this from a different direction. If you were going to manually download every PDF from that directory, how would YOU figure out the names of each one? Is there a web page that contains a list somewhere? If so, point wget there. Hope that helps. Tony PS) Jens was mistaken when he said that https requires you to log into the server. Some servers may require authentication before returning information over a secure (https) channel, but that is not a given.

Using -d will provide a full log of what Wget is doing, as well as the responses it is getting. You can mail the log here, but please be sure it doesn't contain sensitive information (if applicable). This list is public and has public archives. Please note that you also need -r (or even better -r -l1) for -A to work the way you want it.

Re: newbie question
Hi! Yes, I see now, I misread Alan's original post. I thought he would not even be able to download the single .pdf. Don't know why, as he clearly said it works getting a single pdf.

Re: newbie question
Newer versions of Wget check the server type and adjust the directory listing parser accordingly. If I remember correctly, NT directory listing is now supported.

newbie question
hello. i'm finding wget really useful for my dial up connection at home, and I am trying to set it up in work, as there are some web based documents I would like to store in my home directory. I have given the program the following arguments: wget --background --output-file=/home/burnett/wget.log --tries=30 --server-response --directory-prefix=/home/burnett/download --recursive --level=0 --domains=redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html however the download fails to run, with the following output in the log file: --16:24:11-- http://www.nitpickers.com:80/ = `/home/burnett/download/www.nitpickers.com/index.html' Connecting to www.nitpickers.com:80... connect: Connection timed out Retrying. . . . (program continually retries and fails with the same error) i've tried enabling and disabling most of the setting, (i,e the proxy, suppling http passwords, and so forth), but the problem always stays the same. any suggestions would be greatly appricitated. Gavin.
