Well, that really depends. If it's doing a straight recursive download, without preexisting local files, then all that's really necessary is to do lookups/stores in the blacklist in a case-normalized manner. If preexisting files matter, then yes, your solution would fix it. Another solution would be to scan directory contents for the first name that matches case insensitively. That's obviously much less efficient, but has the advantage that the file will match at least one of the "real" cases from the server. As Matthias points out, your lower-case normalization solution could be achieved in a more general manner with a hook. Which is something I was planning on introducing perhaps in 1.13 anyway (so you could, say, run sed on the filenames before Wget uses them), so that's probably the approach I'd take. But probably not before 1.13, even if someone provides a patch for it in time for 1.12 (too many other things to focus on, and I'd like to introduce the "external command" hooks as a suite, if possible). OTOH, case normalization in the blacklists would still be useful, in addition to that mechanism. Could make another good addition for 1.13 (because it'll be more useful in combination with the rename hooks). - -- Micah J.
