Feature Request: Prefiltering (applicable to recursive gets)

2006-12-03 Thread Thejaka Maldeniya
It seems pointless to download ALL html content under
some 
circumstances... esp. if all or most pages contain php
links, like, 
Apache file listings
(i.e. ?N=D, ?M=A, etc.). Why not add an option
like --rreject 
--pre-reject or maybe --pre-filter, so we can specify
which types of 
links to completely ignore?

Feature Request: Pattern Matching - '?'

2006-12-03 Thread Thejaka Maldeniya
There seems to be some inconsistency in pattern
matching, regarding the 
use of symbol '?'. The manual says Look up the manual
of your shell for 
a description of how pattern matching works.. Now I
understand that 
maybe this shouldn't be taken so literally, but I
would suggest the 
following:

1) Insert a clarification in the manual regarding this

non-standard/inconsistent behaviour.
2) In addition, consider extending pattern-matching to
include a 
single-character wildcard, perhaps using an escape
character. i.e. \? 
could be used to specify the wildcard, while normal
'?' would be taken 
as a literal, and part of the URL.

Bug in 1.10.2 vs 1.9.1

2006-12-03 Thread Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. Wget 1.10.2 has the following bug compared to version 1.9.1.
First, the bin/wgetdir is defined as
  wget -p -E -k --proxy=off -e robots=off --passive-ftp
  -o zlogwget`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` -r -l 0 -np -U Mozilla --tries=50
  --waitretry=10 $@

The download command is
  wgetdir http://udn.epicgames.com

Version 1.9.1 result: download ok
Version 1.10.2 result: only udn.epicgames.com/Main/WebHome downloaded
and other converted urls are of the form
  http://udn.epicgames.com/../Two/WebHome
