Please send GNU Wget bug reports to . * Changes in Wget 1.11. -** The new function `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when +** TODO file removed: we use a bugtracker now; see +http://wget.addictivecode.org/BugTracker. Also, +http://wget.addictivecode.org/FeatureSpecifications. + +** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response, +rather than the first one it got. + +** configure.in now requires autoconf >= 2.61, rather than 2.59. + +** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer +header in recursive fetches. + +** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued, +for improved security. Authentication handling is still not +RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will +assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not +just the ones at or below the original authenticated location. +Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued +automatically, and continue to require a challenge for each resource. + +** Added --max-redirect option, allowing the user to specify what should +be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow. + +** Wget now saves HTTP downloads using file names specified by the +`Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying the +file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. For the time +being, Content-Disposition is not used by default, to avoid the extra +round-trips incurred (must specify "-e contentdisposition=yes"); this +may change in a future version. + +** The GnuTLS library is now also supported for https downloads. +This is still work-in-progress. OpenSSL is still used by default; use +--with-ssl=gnutls to build with GnuTLS. OpenSSL is still required for +NTLM authorization to work, but this should eventually change. + +** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I, -A, and -R options, as well as globbing in FTP URLs.
