coded for (downloading StarOffice from Sun's website). He says he doesn't use
wget any more, so he won't be writing a patch that allows downloading that
without breaking anything (such a patch would apparently involve stopping
certain characters in the URL from being escaped).
URLs, gen_page.cgi?page1 and get_page.cgi?page2, they'll both be saved as
get_page.cgi and the second will overwrite the first. Also, parameters to
implicit CGIs, like "http://www.host.com/db/?2000-03-02" cause the URLs to be
printed with trailing garbage characters, and could seg fault. I'm not sure
what Dan had in mind with this patch (no explanatory comments), but I'm removing
it for now. If he can rewrite it so it doesn't break stuff, okay.
Got rid of newly-introduced nested-if warnings in ftp.c and http.c. Fixed
apparently completely untested code in main.c that was trying to provide --wait
/ --waitretry backwards compatibility, but had multiple fundamental bugs.
together, we compare local file X.orig (if extant) against server file X.
Previously -k and -N were worthless in combination because the local converted
files always differed from the server versions.
is available via anonymous CVS and desirable features are being added, it's
quite possible for end-users to be getting their hands on development versions.
They may report bugs, so if we don't change the version number, we'll have to
continually followup the statement "I'm using version 1.5.3" with the question
"The FTP archive or the CVS source?" Better to just make this development
version have a unique number. Once we're ready to actually release the next
version, we can up the version from 1.5.3+dev to 1.5.4, or 1.6, or whatever it
turns out to be (depending on how much development gets done).
Also made minor updates (dates, email addresses) to wget.texi.
