It's not a valid URI to put in spec. Not if you want to be able to freely switch between different URI schemas (http:// vs. ftp:// is a good enough example). In http schema the "?" character serves the purpose of separating a document name from a query string. Therefore the question mark is not part of the document requested, it's there to pass additional parameters to the http server. It should also not be saved as part of the file name. The file name should be derived from either response headers (for example "Disposition" headers allows one to set the desired file name) or the server's document name (the part between the last "/" and "?"). wget behaves differently and saves the question mark as part of the file name which is required for wget's teleport mode to work (where you request a full website mirror locally). Even if you asked wget to behave like a usual web browser (and thus have the correct file name on distfiles), the builder script still has no idea what name to search for (as the web server is free to pass any file name in the response headers). If you want to fix anything, I'd suggest fixing the spec by using an unambiguous URI. -- Patryk Zawadzki PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
