Wget don't work properly when the URL contains characters which are not
allowed in file names
on the file system which is currently used. These are often '\', '?', '*'
and ':'.
Affected are at least:
- Windows and related OS
- Linux when using FAT or Samba as file system
Possibilty to solve:
On startup try to built files
mkdir "wget.tmpfile"
for ( i = 0x20; i <= 0x7E; i++ ) {
sprintf ( name, "wget.tmpfile/\%c", i );
test to open for read as file => okay, then this char is avaialble for
file names
test to create => okay, then this char is avaialble for
file names
remove file
}
remove dir "wget.tmpfile"
chars which are not available are escaped as @3F or #3F or stuff like that.
