I writting patch, that add "--unlink" options for unlink file instead clobbering.
I also posted this patch in discussion on http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?24806 This would be my first contribution to wget. Criticism/feedback encouraged. ChangeLog 2010-07-25 Merinov Nikolay <kim.roa...@gmail.com> * init.c: Adding "unlink" command into command list * main.c: Adding "unlink" option into option_data list * options.h: Adding unlink field into struct options * wget.h: Addind FUNLINKERR error into uerr_t enum * exits.c (get_status_for_err): define status for FUNLINKERR * ftp.c (getftp): unlink file if exists, instead clobbering (ftp_loop_internal): processing FUNLINKERR * http.c (gethttp): unlink file if exists, instead clobbering (http_loop): processing FUNLINKERR Patch === modified file 'src/exits.c' --- src/exits.c 2010-05-08 19:56:15 +0000 +++ src/exits.c 2010-07-25 17:30:19 +0000 @@ -59,6 +59,7 @@ case RETROK: return WGET_EXIT_SUCCESS; case FOPENERR: case FOPEN_EXCL_ERR: case FWRITEERR: case WRITEFAILED: + case FUNLINKERR: return WGET_EXIT_IO_FAIL; case NOCONERROR: case HOSTERR: case CONSOCKERR: case CONERROR: case CONSSLERR: case CONIMPOSSIBLE: case FTPRERR: case FTPINVPASV: === modified file 'src/ftp.c' --- src/ftp.c 2010-07-20 11:09:43 +0000 +++ src/ftp.c 2010-07-25 17:32:35 +0000 @@ -1173,7 +1173,22 @@ } else if (opt.noclobber || opt.always_rest || opt.timestamping || opt.dirstruct || opt.output_document) - { + { + if (opt.unlink && file_exists_p (con->target)) + { + int res = remove (con->target); + if (res < 0) + { + logprintf (LOG_NOTQUIET, "%s: %s\n", con->target, + strerror (errno)); + fd_close (csock); + con->csock = -1; + fd_close (dtsock); + fd_close (local_sock); + return FUNLINKERR; + } + } + #ifdef __VMS int open_id; @@ -1484,6 +1499,7 @@ { case HOSTERR: case CONIMPOSSIBLE: case FWRITEERR: case FOPENERR: case FTPNSFOD: case FTPLOGINC: case FTPNOPASV: case CONTNOTSUPPORTED: + case FUNLINKERR: /* Fatal errors, give up. */ return err; case CONSOCKERR: case CONERROR: case FTPSRVERR: case FTPRERR: === modified file 'src/http.c' --- src/http.c 2010-07-20 17:42:13 +0000 +++ src/http.c 2010-07-25 17:27:43 +0000 @@ -2501,6 +2501,19 @@ } else if (ALLOW_CLOBBER) { + if (opt.unlink && file_exists_p (hs->local_file)) + { + int res = remove (hs->local_file); + if (res < 0) + { + logprintf (LOG_NOTQUIET, "%s: %s\n", hs->local_file, + strerror (errno)); + CLOSE_INVALIDATE (sock); + xfree (head); + return FUNLINKERR; + } + } + #ifdef __VMS int open_id; @@ -2795,6 +2808,13 @@ logprintf (LOG_NOTQUIET, _("Unable to establish SSL connection.\n")); ret = err; goto exit; + case FUNLINKERR: + /* Another fatal error. */ + logputs (LOG_VERBOSE, "\n"); + logprintf (LOG_NOTQUIET, _("Cannot unlink %s (%s).\n"), + quote (hstat.local_file), strerror (errno)); + ret = err; + goto exit; case NEWLOCATION: /* Return the new location to the caller. */ if (!*newloc) === modified file 'src/init.c' --- src/init.c 2010-05-08 19:56:15 +0000 +++ src/init.c 2010-07-25 13:02:23 +0000 @@ -252,6 +252,7 @@ { "timeout", NULL, cmd_spec_timeout }, { "timestamping", &opt.timestamping, cmd_boolean }, { "tries", &opt.ntry, cmd_number_inf }, + { "unlink", &opt.unlink, cmd_boolean }, { "useproxy", &opt.use_proxy, cmd_boolean }, { "user", &opt.user, cmd_string }, { "useragent", NULL, cmd_spec_useragent }, === modified file 'src/main.c' --- src/main.c 2010-06-20 10:10:35 +0000 +++ src/main.c 2010-07-25 13:01:15 +0000 @@ -266,6 +266,7 @@ { "timeout", 'T', OPT_VALUE, "timeout", -1 }, { "timestamping", 'N', OPT_BOOLEAN, "timestamping", -1 }, { "tries", 't', OPT_VALUE, "tries", -1 }, + { "unlink", 0, OPT_BOOLEAN, "unlink", -1 }, { "use-server-timestamps", 0, OPT_BOOLEAN, "useservertimestamps", -1 }, { "user", 0, OPT_VALUE, "user", -1 }, { "user-agent", 'U', OPT_VALUE, "useragent", -1 }, @@ -514,6 +515,8 @@ --local-encoding=ENC use ENC as the local encoding for IRIs.\n"), N_("\ --remote-encoding=ENC use ENC as the default remote encoding.\n"), + N_("\ + --unlink remove file before clobber.\n"), "\n", N_("\ === modified file 'src/options.h' --- src/options.h 2010-05-08 19:56:15 +0000 +++ src/options.h 2010-07-25 13:18:57 +0000 @@ -54,6 +54,7 @@ bool protocol_directories; /* Whether to prepend "http"/"ftp" to dirs. */ bool noclobber; /* Disables clobbering of existing data. */ + bool unlink; /* remove file before clobbering */ char *dir_prefix; /* The top of directory tree */ char *lfilename; /* Log filename */ char *input_filename; /* Input filename */ === modified file 'src/wget.h' --- src/wget.h 2010-05-08 19:56:15 +0000 +++ src/wget.h 2010-07-25 17:19:21 +0000 @@ -351,7 +351,8 @@ RETRBADPATTERN, RETNOTSUP /* ! */, ROBOTSOK /* ! */, NOROBOTS /* ! */, PROXERR, /* 50 */ - AUTHFAILED, QUOTEXC, WRITEFAILED, SSLINITFAILED, VERIFCERTERR + AUTHFAILED, QUOTEXC, WRITEFAILED, SSLINITFAILED, VERIFCERTERR, + FUNLINKERR } uerr_t; /* 2005-02-19 SMS.
