This is my first attempt to fix 40426. I'm expecting to continue to work on it
until it's fixed, unless someone has objections.
Source of the problem:
When -r and -O - are specified together, Wget hangs. Well, it really doesn't
hang, it's actually waiting for input. When Wget downloads a file it saves it
to the disk first and then reads it again from there to parse it and get more
URLs, if any. But when '-O -' was specified, Wget reads from stdin. This is
done in wget_read_file(). As a funny game, when this happens, type some HTML,
and then hit Ctrl-D or any other key sequence equivalent to EOF, and you'll
effectively trick Wget into inserting arbitrary HTML.
Solution:
A patch was already proposed that simply avoided '-r' and '-O -' to be set together. But that would
void a clause in the documentation that states that "wget -O file http://foo"; is intended to
work like "wget -O - http://foo > file". So, my approach is to maintain that.
Initially I thought of redirecting stdout to stdin, but that would be an ugly
hack that would probably make things difficult in the future. What's more,
there are options that rely on stdin, such as '--input-file=-'.
So, what I did is to write to a regular file in /tmp/.wget.stdout instead of in
stdout when '-O -' is passed, and dump everything in the end. This, apart from
fixing the bug, maintains the documented behavior.
Although this is a good workaround for the short term, IMO the best approach is
to keep everything in memory and write stuff out in the end. Something similar
was already reported at 20714.
I don't expect this patch to be definite. This is just a follow-up to my work.
I'm looking forward to your feedback as I sure haven't taken into account all
the consequences.
So far, the following are still to be done:
- /tmp/.wget.stdout won't work on Windows, so port it.
- FOPEN_OPT_ARGS is not taken into account.
- I only took into account HTTP. The same workaround should be applied to FTP
too.
