Thanks, then I am sure that is a Mac OS X Tiger specific problem.

I don't think that's valid HTML. According to RFC 1866: An HTML user

I don't see any provision for end of line within the HREF attribute
of an A tag.

Subject: I got one bug on Mac OS X


Dear Sir/Madam,

while I was trying to download using the command:

wget -k -np -r -l inf -E http://dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/

I got most of the files, but lost some of them.

I think I know where the problem is:

if the link is broken into two lines in the index.html:

<P>Lecture 1 (Jan 17): Exploring Conformational Space for Biomolecules
<A HREF="http://dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/lectures
/lecture-01.pdf">[PDF]</A></P>


I will get the following error message:


--09:13:16--
http://dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/lectures%0A/lecture-01.pdf =>
`/Users/hguo/mywww//dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/lectures%0A/ lecture-01.pdf'

request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 09:13:16 ERROR 404:
Not Found.

Please note that wget adds a special charactor '%0A' in the URL.
Maybe the Windows new line have one more charactor which is not
recoganized by Mac wget.

I am using Mac OS X, Tigger Darwin.

Hello
I tested the following command:
"wget -k -np -r -l inf -E http://dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/";
on Fedora Core 5, using wget-1.10.2-3.2.1

I don't know if I got every file or not (since I know nothing about the
link that I downloaded) but I did get the file referred to in your
original post: lecture-01.pdf

Here is a link to the full output of wget:
http://www.afolkey2.net/wget.txt

and here is the output for the file that you mentioned as an example:
--19:32:16--  http://dasher.wustl.edu/bio5476/lectures/lecture-01.pdf

For everyone's information, I saw that the link was split into two
lines just like the OP described.  The difference between his
experience and mine, though, was that the file with a split URL that he
used as an example was downloaded just fine when I tried it.   It
appears that every PDF that has "lecture-" at the beginning of the name
has a multi-line URL on the original index.html.  On my experiment,
wget downloaded 25 PDF files that had split (multi-line) URL's.  This
appears to be all of them that are linked to on the index.html page.
