Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: elinks
In a file, obtained via wget (along with the relevant frame target
file), there is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>fdoxnews.com</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET rows="100%,*" border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0>
<FRAME name=top
src="../searchportal.information.com/index.mas?epl=00440087UVsPWVALXVUMVV8FXAoeXQRDFRkAWlpHAGpcXAUGBFQM"
noresize>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
The actual file in ../searchportal.information.com/ contains the
question-mark, literally as you see it. (Since the --convert-links
option was specified to wget, it was wget's responsibility to encode the
question mark in the frame src attribute; as the current maintainer of
GNU wget, I've made a note of this problem.)
The file whose contents are given above resides in
/tmp/www.fdoxnews.com/index.html. When elinks is invoked on that file,
it of course can't find the frame target (since it is looking for
index.mas, and not index.mas?epl=0044.... However, instead of reporting
that it can't find that file, it instead gives:
Unable to retrieve file file:///tmp/www.fdoxnews.com/index.html:
No such file or directory.
This is misleading, as in fact it finds that file just fine; just not
the embedded frame target. This is confirmed via strace.
I will attach the strace output, which should be sufficient data to
confirm this bug.
