Complaint: offline both $ wwwoffle SomeDontGetURL $ wwwoffle SomeDontCacheURL both say Requesting ThatURL and return $?=0 to the shell, even though WWWOFFLE intends to do no such fetching.
At least one can do # grep 'not to get' /var/log/syslog wwwoffles[5218]: The URL 'http://example.net/f.jpg' matches one in the list not to get. to know about the former, but what about the latter? The latter still ends up in http://localhost:8080/index/outgoing/ Clicking on it there, still here offline, says Your request for URL http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_thinking_errors&action=edit failed because it is on the list of hosts and/or paths that are not to be cached and cannot be requested when offline. Well, OK, then it should be barred from ending up in outgoing too. OK, to check for the latter one would do, after fetching, # less +/not\ possible /var/log/syslog (note I use maximum debug level for my messages) Anyway, if the shell returned 1 and a message for both, one could much easier tell which of one's command line requests one had betted make other plans for (fetching by hand, as they are on our DontGet and DontCache lists), rather that thinking WWWOFFLE will remember to fetch them for us when indeed it has no such plans, and that will be last we will see of them until six months later when we realize that somehow we never read the Plurbitsky article or whatever that we had on our reading list. Anyway, it sure is tough to check in a batch job way what will be forgotten. And there's no http://localhost:8080/index/lastfailures -- but one would rather know if something bad will happen right at $ wwwoffle $URL||echo Holmes, make other plans for that $URL. It is on \ one of your Dont lists. Just keeping the mailing list warm, here with latest Debian sid wwwoffle 2.9a-2.
