Hey, I remember this feature was in WGETWIN 1.5.3.1
It was really useful. But it is missing from WGET 1.8.1
I would like to see this feature added back into WGET
because at the moment it is completely broken when the
URL contains a question mark '?'.
Kind regards,
David Robinson
---------- URL.C (1.5.3.1)
char *url_filename (const struct urlinfo *u)
{
.
.
.
#ifdef WINDOWS
{
char *p = file;
for (p = file; *p; p++)
if ( (*p == '%') || (*p == '?') || (*p == '*') )
*p = '@';
}
#endif /* WINDOWS */
.
.
.
}
---------- URL.C (1.8.1)
char *url_filename (const struct url *u)
{
.
.
.
#ifdef WINDOWS
{
char *p = file;
for (p = file; *p; p++)
if (*p == '%')
*p = '@';
}
#endif /* WINDOWS */
.

.
}

Older wget versions did some some other character translation, but
that
had other bigger sideeffects, and has been partially substituted by
the
current translation table.
Some time ago there had been extensive discussions regarding this
(at
the time of Dan iirc), and there had been some agreement there
wasn't
any perfect solution working for every case except if wget keeps an
external database (say, a file in every directory) where to record
exactly which translations have been made, in order to be able to
send
back the correct urls to web servers when necessary.
