That would be nice. I believe that the only _very_ intrusive change is in the handling of a VMS FTP server, which needed a lot of work. I would think that getting the changes in sooner would be easier, however. Interestingly, I've found yet another VMS FTP server variety which seems to require a change to the CWD code so that instead of doing "CWD abc/def/ghi" (as now), it would need to do "CWD abc", "CWD def", and "CWD ghi", as the RFC suggests. The problem on this particular server is that it identifies itself as a VMS server and acts accordingly until the user supplies a UNIX-like directory spec (like "abc/def/ghi"), at which point it switches into a UNIX-emulation mode. Because Wget doesn't keep checking the system type (why would it change?), multi-file FTP downloads from such a server may be expected to fail. I'm still thinking about fixing this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
