You haven't stated which error you get, but on my system the error
comes from the shell and not from Wget. The problem is that you used
single quotes to quote a string that contains, among other things,
single quotes. This effectively turned off the quoting for some
portions of the text, causing the shell to interpret the bangs ("!")
as (invalid) history events.
To correct the problem, replace ' within single quotes with something
like '\'':
wget --user-agent='Mozilla/5.0' --cookies=off --header 'Cookie:
testbounce="testing";
ih="b'\''!!!0T#8G(5A!!#c`#8HWsH!!#wt#8I0HY!!#yf#8I0G3";
cf="b$y~!!!D)#"; hi="b#!!!D)8I=C]"'

The above should read something like: svn checkout http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/branches/1.10/ wget-stable

Mauro Tortonesi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > The new repository is accessible at: > > http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/ For the uninitiated, to checkout the repository, you need a reasonably recent version of the subversion client and issue something like: svn checkout http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk/ wget If you try to checkout http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk/, you will get a checkout of *all* branches and tags, which is probably not what you had in mind. If you want to check out the 1.10 branch (recommended for distributions because it only contains bug fixes), you can use: svn checkout http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk/ wget If you want to get a diff between the 1.10 release and the tip of the 1.10 branch, use: svn diff http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/tags/WGET_1_10 \ http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/branches/1.10 ...which you can do without having pulled the source or in any way initiated an svn session. Magic.
new subversion source code repository for Wget
It's with great pleasure that I announce the migration of the Wget source code repository from CVS to subversion. Hrvoje and I have been talking a lot about the switch to subversion in the last few months. Subversion is a very powerful development tool and we expect the new source code repository not only to have a much better access performance than the previous one, but also to provide us with a better support for both branching and commit notifications via email, and eventually to speed up the development of Wget. The new repository is accessible at: http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/ Please, don't use the old repository anymore. It is not up-to-date and it's going to be dismissed soon. The developers documentation on the official Wget website will be updated in a couple of hours. Notice that for the moment the commit notification via email mechanism is not working. Please, understand that this situation is only temporary and that a better mechanism will be set up very soon. Last but not least, I would like to thank the dotsrc.org (former sunsite.dk) staff, and especially Christian Reiniger, for their kind help in setting up a subversion server for us and performing the migration of the repository. -- Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem...

Clobber??
Was looking for an option to skip existing files, and after some time (minutes? hours?) of no luck, i looked at that option -nc "Dont clobber existing files". Ive checked the dictionary for what "clobber" meant, didnt help either. Clobber = hitting hard. What possibily hitting hard a file should mean? Anyway, I gave it a try, and it worked just as i wished. So, cmon, why dont make our life easier, and change "clobber" to "overwrite", or "download"? ps: I see now on a "computer dictionary" that clobber is a jargon for overwriting. Ok. One more useless thing to remember.
BUG? using -O effectively disables -N
Hello, When I try to combine the options -O and -N, timestamping is not used, but the file is downloaded all the time. Timestamping does however check the file that would be used without the -O option. Consider the following scenario: $ wget http://example.com/index.html wget retrieves the file. Assume that after this, index.html changes. $ wget -N http://example.com/index.html -O example_index.html wget retrieves it correctly again, but does so after inspecting index.html Assume that after this, the index.html does not change. $wget -N http://example.com/index.html -O example_index.html wget will now again download index.html because it inspects the local index.html and not example_index.html! $wget -N http://example.com/index.html wget will now again correctly download index.html $wget -N http://example.com/index.html -O example_index.html And because index.html is now up-to-date wget will not re-download the page. Because this behaviour is unexpected and undocumented, I consider it a bug. -- Sincerely, Dennis Kaarsemaker signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
