That could be a problem if you need to send a really weird custom header named "dontoverride,Pragma". Probability is near nil but with the whole big bad internet waiting maybe separating switches (--header and --header-add) would be better. > as an alternative, we could choose to support multiple > headers only for > a few header types, like Pragma. however, i don't really like this > second choise, as it would require to hardcode the above mentioned > header names in the wget sources, which IMVHO is a *VERY* bad > practice. Same opinion, hard coding the header list would be ugly and will byte some user in the nose some time in the future: "if you need to add several XXXY headers either patch and recompile or use at least versione x.y" Heiko -- -- PREVINET S.p.A. www.previnet.it -- Heiko Herold [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- +39-041-5907073 / +39-041-5917073 ph -- +39-041-5907472 / +39-041-5917472 fax
