That's not very general, and isn't a particularly useful feature anyway, since one can very easily run the files through ClamAV _after_ they've been saved. Scanning-and-then-saving implies it would have to be saved to a temporary file _anyway_, or else handled entirely in memory (which is generally unreasonable). Wget upstream development _is_ planning to eventually support more generic process-filtered/plugin mechanisms for handling such things as link-parsing, content-filtering, and probably filestore management (such as saving to a tarball or multipart/related archive). That last feature would make a suitable general hook for plugging in a ClamAV scanner, perhaps, which could simply decline to save the files it doesn't like. Still have the same problem, though, of needing to save to a temporary file or else hold it in memory. --8<-- https://bugs.debian.org/496583 thx for your feedback. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45776> _______________________________________________ Nachricht gesendet von/durch Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
