This is the wget POST patch that I wrote yesterday afternoon. It is for
wget-1.5.3 as distributed in suse linux 6.4. It was created using: diff -cr
wget-1.5.3 wget-1.5.3.new > wget-post.patch
This is a very quick hack really I did it coz I thought that wget didnt
support POST encoding and needed it. I basically just greped for 'GET' in
the code, found that it was handled in the http.c file, added a proc to
strip the POST data from the URL encoded GET form and modified the way the
http request was sprint'ed, I then added a global var(post), command line
switch(-M) in main.c to change a GET URL to a POST. I must admit I have not
really examined the original code to any degree and the patch is just a very
quick bolt on sort of hack(it took about an hour), it seems to work for me
but may be totally useless for others????
