I tried today a easy hax for one problem. It lead me to a situation
where wget should be able to follow more than 20
http-redirections. Now wget says "20 redirections exceeded". I
searched the manual even read the source code trying to find some
way to alter that number (20) but no luck.
In retr.c:
#define MAX_REDIRECTIONS 20
Increase the size to whatever you need. However, are you sure that
you really need more than twenty redirections? Is it possible that
Wget is in fact stuck in a redirection loop?
How many redirections would be enough for what you are diong?
Okay, that info suits me very well. I can compile my own wget with bigger
number of redirects allowed if i need to. I'm doing something what one
might consider as stupid - a database cleaning system in PHP (there's
reason for that :) ) and database is so big that i've to refresh page
constantly to avoid php timeout. That means my page refreshes itself about
25-30 times until the work is done.
I was a bit surprised when i was not allowed to change that option.
Usually this kind of numbers are never hard coded ;) Nothing bad happened
though, maybe i'll modify my code or compile new wget.
Thank you very much for information.
