hello, being meant to be such a powerful download tool, it seems to be at least confusing:
file src/ftp-basic.c (function ftp_size, 1.9+cvs-dev, line 1153): *size = strtol (respline + 4, NULL, 0); where size is defined as "long int *" in the function's declaration. BTW. why's the base given to strtol is "0", not "10"? isn't that too flexible for a defined protocol? the http.c has the same problem, where content length is defined as "long contlen;" and is calculated with the same "strtol (hdrval, NULL, 10)". The limitation seems to be hardwired throughout the source code, so it is not that simple to me (being not familiar with the source) to provide any diff. Having DVD ISO's becoming more usual, that are not only bigger than 2 GB, but even bigger than 4 GB, this seems to be a serious problem. As the example I am providing a debug output of wget 1.9.1 downloading file which size is 4 683 900 928 (yes, more than 4GB, 'tis a DVD ISO). IP addresses, pathnames and filenames are modified (sorry), but this has nothing to do with the problem. Notice the size returned to "SIZE" command and the size that wget reports as "unauthoritative"... I am really unsure of what wget will do, when it reaches the size that is "unauthoritative", will it show negative values (like mozilla's ftp client)?..
