How can i do it? hi jasmo, the 20 redirections limit was hardcoded in wget some time ago to prevent infinite loops. at the moment the only way to bypass it, is to manually modify retr.c to change the MAX_REDIRECTIONS parameter. a couple of months ago someone actually suggested to add a new --max-redirections option to wget, but at that time the proposal was rejected as it was considered too low-level for wget. -- Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem...

That was me. I can easily resurrect that patch (against the current sources) if anyone is interested. KM

How many redirections would be enough for what you are diong? Okay, that info suits me very well. I can compile my own wget with bigger number of redirects allowed if i need to. I'm doing something what one might consider as stupid - a database cleaning system in PHP (there's reason for that :) ) and database is so big that i've to refresh page constantly to avoid php timeout. That means my page refreshes itself about 25-30 times until the work is done. I was a bit surprised when i was not allowed to change that option. Usually this kind of numbers are never hard coded ;) Nothing bad happened though, maybe i'll modify my code or compile new wget. Thank you very much for information. -jasmo -- Jasmo Hiltula
