Hi, If I understand timestamping corretly, wget will look at the content-length header and if the length is different than the local copy , wget will reget the web page even if the the remote file is older/same_as the local copy.
The problem is, that my web pages are served up by php and the content lengh is not defined. So as the manual states I use --ignore-length. But when wget retrieves an image it slows right down, possibly because it is ignoring the content-length. Maybe an option to ignore the content length of certain file types ( say text/html ) would be an option for upcomming releases of wget. I would like to point out one thing though. It seams that wget does NOT reget all the files ( without --ignore-length ) after a HEAD request. It looks to me that even though my server is not sending out the content-length, wget is looking at the last-modified date and seeing that it is older/same as the local copy and it is NOT alowing the content length to 'override' the last-modified date as it states in the manual. Very strange.
