Help needed ...

[Phani Kumar Anumolu]

Dear Wget Users, 
   I am a newbie trying to write a small download program in linux which 
should get a specific file given in the URL similar to wget.

My requirement is NOT towards handling all the complexities which 
are addressed in WGET.

Can some body send me a sample code with which I can download a single file from the 
URL given. I am writing in C and tried to understand Wget..which looked very 
complicated. 

Any further suggestion are appreciated.

for example: 
int main()
{
int i = getfile(http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/wget/;, wget-1.9.tar.gz);

   if ( i != 0 ) printf( Successfully Downloaded\n);
   else printf(HTTP address invalid\n);
   
return 0;
}

Could you please help me with a small sample code...
thank you very much..
looking forward...
Satya.

Hello.

I traced the url given at command line, and it looks like there
is no difference if one gives ~ or %7E. Is this true?
The urls end up to url_parse() which switches ~ (as unsafe) to
%7E. If the original url is not used at all as it looks like,
then there is no difference. But mysteriously the url with ~
and the url with %7E downloaded files differently!

I also added new log outputs and while testing them with the
problem sites, surprise, there seemed to be no problems.

So, the fact that urls are not downloaded, could be just some
code bug in wget. But why this problem appears when ~ is
in the download url? Have I just missed the other cases?
Or is the bug in the code which expands the unsafe characters?

Hello.
Wget could not download the images of the page
  http://www.fusionindustries.com/alex/combustion/index.html

The image urls have %5C (backslash \) in them.

The wget 1.9.1 options used included -E, -r, -k, and -np.
