There are some URLs which wget refuses to fetch but which lynx handles okay. For example,
% wget http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Class/Class-MethodMaker-1.06.tar.gz --16:29:45-- http://www.perl.com:80/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Class/Class-MethodMaker-1.06.tar.gz => `Class-MethodMaker-1.06.tar.gz' Connecting to www.perl.com:80... connected! HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Found Location: http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Class/Class-MethodMaker-1.06.tar.gz [following] http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Class/Class-MethodMaker-1.06.tar.gz: Redirection to itself. But, % lynx -source http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Class/Class-MethodMaker-1.06.tar.gz | wc -c 35026 What is lynx doing that wget isn't doing? It seems completely reasonable to give up with 'redirection to itself', yet somehow the same URL works with programs other than wget. -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
