That's totally weird.  I suggest we do the latter, as I don't think
all that many people use the Borland environment.

By the way, why does your patch work against 1.10.x?  It's always a
better idea to patch thed trunk code, as that's the one new features
get added to.

Nice tip, thank you!


Bad news: Borland 5.5.1 seems to do locales in its own way. Not at
all as I explained here, about msvcrt.dll. Seems that:

 · setlocale() returns always a composite string with newlines (as if
categories were not identical). Example setlocale(LC_ALL, ".852")
returns:

| LC_MONETARY=French_France.852
| LC_TIME=French_France.852
| LC_NUMERIC=French_France.852
| LC_COLLATE=French_France.852
| LC_CTYPE=French_France.852

 · setlocale("") does French_France.850, not following chcp.

 · It doesn't know about ".OCP" nor ".ACP", but still accepts "C",
".1252" and such.

 · Whatever setlocale charset, localeconv() only outputs CP-1252.

 · localeconv() grouping gives an Ascii string "3;0" (or "3;2;0" for
Indian). Wget of course groups by... 51 digits (Ascii code of "3").

Seems a little bit like unusable nonsense to me. Either there is a
magic option I missed, or I'd recommend to treat Borland as C locale
(forcing coma separator and grouping by 3).


The test code works well on MinGW. Wget itself doesn't like the
unixish ./configure and make procedure under Msys 1.0.10, but I found
the configure.bat --mingw way to use directly MinGW 3.1.0. Wget 1.10.2
so compiles, and seemingly grouping, charset, and decimal point work
well with the attached patch.

BTW I had a problem compiling straight subversion trunk:

| F:\wget-r2129\src>mingw32-make.exe
| gcc -DWINDOWS -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O3 -Wall -I.   -c -o cmpt.o cmpt.c

There are four files to download, and I need to save each of the four to
its proper directory, which is q:\1ZZ music\artistlaunch\artist launch

Here's what I tried in the batch file:

It doesn't work.

Any ideas what would work?

hi philip,

unfortunately HTTP does not allow wildcard characters, so you can't use
*, ?, etc., in the HTTP URLs you give to wget.

however, you can easily solve your problem with a simple script that
provides wget with the complete URLs.
  


Thaks for that, Mauro. I don't know how to do that -I'm betterat 
programming radio stations than computers!. Can you point me to where I 
could learn what I need to do and how to do it?

Yeah, that's really what I'm trying to do... I just want to gauge
performance of a web server on a given network port...

I've found the "pavuk" utility fits the bill and has many more advanced
options, such as thread controlling, rate limiting, random delay between
downloads, a "-dontstore" option that does what I wanted with the "-O
/dev/null" and more, so I've started using that instead.

I just thought I'd ask on the list to see if the behavior I was observing
with wget was expected... I suppose it is. :o)

Cheers

unfortunately the -r option doesn't work with -O. right now wget
silently ignores -r, but the next version of wget will print an error
and exit.

Good catch, thanks.  I've applied a slightly different fix, appended
below.

By the way, are you using hash.c in a project?  I'd like to hear if
you're satisfied with it and would be very interested in any
suggestions and, of course, bugs.  hash.c was written to be
reuse-friendly.

Also note that you can get the latest version of the file (this fix
included) from http://svn.dotsrc.org/repo/wget/trunk/src/hash.c .

wget -O option not doing the expected

When using, for instance:
  wget -r -l 15 -O file http://1.2.3.4/path
the -O doesn't seem to work as intended. wget downloads a single file
(or two including robots.txt) and quits without any errors. It seems
satisfied it has done its job.

Without -O the tree is saved correctly...

Ideas?

RE: Another problem with install of WGET 1.10.2 on AIX

[Davis Adrian]

 Steven,

I've got exactly the same messages in my "config.log". I haven't used any
options at all with the configure. I'm afraid I don't have a clue how to
progress from here.

The solution to the "cannot run C compiled programs" was to try this on a
different (brand new) machine!!

Many Thanks,

   Beats me.  On my Tru64 UNIX system, I have no "msgfmt" (unless through
some miracle the one in /usr/opt/netscape6/gnome/bin/msgfmt was found), and
I don't see it used in the Makefile.

   My config.log does say these:

[...]

configure:11335: result: msgfmt
configure:11344: checking for xgettext
configure:11371: result: :

GMSGFMT='msgfmt'

but I see no evidence that anyone tries to use "msgfmt" for anything.

   What are you using now?


   And what was the solution to the "cannot run C compiled programs"
