That's because wget incorrectly uses strerror() for Winsock errors or uses 'errno' when that's not set. The correct thing would be to set 'errno' to last Winsock error and make a compatible function that returns correct string for both sys-errors and WS errors. E.g. we put this in mswindows.h: #define strerror(err) win_strerror (err) extern const char *win_strerror (int err); But the problem is that sys_errlist[] always returns English texts, but Windows's FormatMessage() returns in native language. So to be consistent, I suggest we return English also for Winsock errors (easier when we receive a bug-report from a user without the proper wget.gmo file. Who ever uses NLS anyway?). I could commit a patch if we agree on this. --gv
