recently-added items may tend towards the top). Not all of these
represent user-visible changes.
-* Currently Wget mirrors remote FTP permissions whenever it retrieves
- the directory listing. This is undesirable for most users, as
- permissions like "664" are frequently used on the servers, which
- might not be what the user wants. Wget should be changed not to
- mirror remote FTP permissions by default. There should be a new
- option add an option that enables this back on.
-
* Honor `Content-Disposition: XXX; filename="FILE"' when creating the
file name. If possible, try not to break `-nc' and friends when
doing that.
-* Should allow retries with multiple downloads when using -O on
- regular files. As the source comment says: "A possible solution to
- [rewind not working with multiple downloads] would be to remember
- the file position in the output document and to seek to that
- position, instead of rewinding."
-
- But the above won't work for -O/dev/stdout, when stdout is a pipe.
- An even better solution would be to simply keep writing to the same
- file descriptor each time, instead of reopening it in append mode.
-
* Wget shouldn't delete rejected files that were not downloaded, but
just found on disk because of `-nc'. For example, `wget -r -nc
-A.gif URL' should allow the user to get all the GIFs without
* Add option to clobber existing file names (no `.N' suffixes).
-* Introduce real "boolean" options. Every `--foo' setting should have
- a corresponding `--no-foo' that turns off. This is useful even for
- options turned off by default, because the default can be reversed
- in `.wgetrc'. Get rid of `--foo=no'. Short options would be
- handled as `-x' vs. `-nx'.
-
* Add option to only list wildcard matches without doing the download.
* Handle MIME types correctly. There should be an option to (not)
