One more wget-1.7 disadvantage.
Suppose I start download a very big file from MS IIS 4.0 via HTTP:
wget -c http://host/file.iso
It downloades about 100Mb and then, suppose, server breaks connection.
wget tries to restart, server returns code 500 (that happened to me),
wget gives up. Later I read it's log and rerun the same command.
wget-1.7 sees that the file exists and issues 'HEAD' to server
with a 'Range'. IIS 4.0 does not give information wget needs
so it's refuses to restart download.
However, wget-1.6 does not send 'HEAD', it just start with 'GET' and
downloading restarts just fine.
