One could argue whether it's a bug, or whose bug it ism but we can agree it's a problem that's probably easier to fix in wget than to reeducate the world's webmasters.

Authors: -------- Hrvoje Niksic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Distribution: openSUSE 10.2 (i586) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> A crude Hack might be to use mktemp to create a file, and imbed meta information in comments in the document linking to it. Would be useful to maintain a table of such transformations to ensure reuse of files where appropriate. A related issue is the file name used for the initial document; I'm not fond of all the parameters to CGI, JSP, ASP etc being embedded into the file name. I don't like this name very well: -rw-r--r-- 1 summer summer 1775634 2007/03/23 23:02:41 2007.zip?format=metastock&volume=1&traded=on&csv=on&ticker= What do you say? -- Cheers John Summerfield
