I recently upgraded to wget 1.8.2 from an unknown earlier version. In doing recursive http retrievals, I have noticed inconsistent behavior. If I specifiy a directory without the trailing slash in the url, the "--no-parent" option is ignored, but if the trailing slash is present, it works as expected. Seems like others would have noticed this long before I did; is it a known problem? I did not have the problem with the earlier version of wget I was using previously.
Examples: This will retrieve the pf001014.shnf directory and its entire contents including subdirectories: wget --debug --output-file=test2.log -nH -r -np --cut-dirs=1 http://www.gdlive.com/philshn/pf001014.shnf/ This will retrieve the pf001014.shnf directory, it's entire contents, and all parallel directories and their entire contents. (And fill up my partition before it finishes.) wget --debug --output-file=test1.log -nH -r -np --cut-dirs=1 http://www.gdlive.com/philshn/pf001014.shnf If this is a known problem, is there a patch I can apply? Any help would be greatly appreciated. /jw -- inet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fascism conceives of the State as an addr: 321 High School Rd.
