7 Please send GNU Wget bug reports to <bug-wget@gnu.org>.
11 ** Mailing list MOVED to bug-wget@gnu.org
13 ** SECURITY FIX: It had been possible to trick Wget into accepting
14 SSL certificates that don't match the host name, through the trick of
15 embedding NUL characters into the certs' common name.
17 ** Added support for CSS. This includes:
18 - Parsing links from CSS files, and from CSS content found in HTML
19 style tags and attributes.
20 - Supporting conversion of links found within CSS content, when
21 --convert-links is specified.
22 - Ensuring that CSS files end in the ".css" filename extension,
23 when --convert-links is specified.
25 CSS support in Wget is thanks to Ted Mielczarek
26 <ted.mielczarek@gmail.com>.
28 ** Added support for Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs, RFC
29 3987). When support is enabled (default), links with non-ASCII bytes
30 are translated from their source encoding to UTF-8 before percent-encoding.
32 IRI support was added by Saint Xavier <wget@sxav.eu>, as his
33 project for the Google Summer of Code.
35 ** --default-page option (and associated wgetrc command) added to
36 support alternative default names for index.html.
38 ** --ask-password option (and associated wgetrc command) added to
39 support password prompts at the console.
41 ** The --input-file option now also handles retrieving links from
44 ** The output generated by the --version option now includes
45 information on how it was built, and the set of configure-time options
48 ** --html-extension has been renamed to --adjust-extension, to reflect
49 the fact that it now also applies to CSS content..
51 ** An "ascii" specifier is now accepted by --restrict-file-names, which
52 forces the percent-encoding of all non-ASCII bytes
54 ** Several previously existing, but undocumented .wgetrc options are
55 now documented: save_headers, spider, and user_agent,
56 auth_no_challenge, and keep_session_cookies. Also added documentation
57 for the "lowercase" and "uppercase" values for --restrict-file-names, which had been present since Wget 1.11.
59 * Changes in Wget 1.11.4
61 ** Fixed an issue (apparently a regression) where -O would refuse to
62 download when -nc was given, even though the file didn't exist.
64 ** Fixed a situation where Wget could abort with --continue if the
65 remote server gives a content-length of zero when the file exists
68 ** Fixed a crash on some systems, due to Wget casting a pointer-to-long
69 to a pointer-to-time_t.
71 ** Translation updates for Catalan.
73 * Changes in Wget 1.11.3
75 ** Downgraded -N with -O to a warning, rather than an error.
77 ** Translation updates
79 * Changes in Wget 1.11.2
81 ** Fixed a problem in authenticating over HTTPS through a proxy.
82 (Regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2.)
84 ** The combination of -r or -p with -O, which was disallowed in 1.11,
85 has been downgraded to a warning in 1.11.2. (-O and -N, which was never
86 meaningful, is still an error.)
88 ** Further improvements to progress bar displays in non-English locales
89 (too many spaces could be inserted, causing the display to scroll).
91 ** Successive invocations of Wget on FTP URLS, with --no-remove-listing
92 and --continue, was causing Wget to append, rather than replace,
93 information in the .listing file, and thereby download the same files
94 multiple times. This has been fixed in 1.11.2.
96 ** Wget 1.11 no longer allowed ".." to persist at the beginning of URLs,
97 for improved conformance with RFC 3986. However, this behavior presents
98 problems for some FTP setups, and so they are now preserved again, for
101 * Changes in Wget 1.11.1.
103 ** Interrupted downloads no longer result in renaming the file
104 (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
106 ** Progress bar now displays correctly in non-English locales (and a
107 related assertion failure was fixed).
109 ** Wget no longer issues a GET request over HTTP for files it should
110 know it's not going to download (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
112 ** Added option --auth-no-challenge, to support broken pre-1.11
113 authentication-before-server-challenge, which turns out to still be
114 useful for some limited cases.
116 ** Documentation of accept/reject lists in the manual's "Types of
117 Files" section now explains various aspects of their behavior that may
118 be surprising, and notes that they may change in the future.
120 ** Documentation of --no-parents now explains how a trailing slash, or
121 lack thereof, in the specified URL, will affect behavior.
123 * Changes in Wget 1.11.
125 ** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
126 rather than the first one it got.
128 ** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer
129 header in recursive fetches.
131 ** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued,
132 for improved security. Authentication handling is still not
133 RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will
134 assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not
135 just the ones at or below the original authenticated location.
136 Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued
137 automatically, and continue to require a challenge for each resource.
139 ** Added --max-redirect option, allowing the user to specify what should
140 be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow.
142 ** Wget now supports saving HTTP downloads using file names specified by
143 the `Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying
144 the file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. However, the
145 current implementation is inefficient, and known to have bugs. It is
146 EXPERIMENTAL only, and not enabled by default. Use --content-disposition
149 ** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
150 matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I,
151 -A, and -R options, as well as globbing in FTP URLs.
153 ** ETA projection is now displayed in "dot" progress output as well as
154 in the default progress bar. (The dot progress is used by default when
155 logging Wget's output to file using the `-o' option.)
157 ** The "lockable boolean" argument type is no longer supported. It
158 was only used by the passive_ftp .wgetrc setting. If you're running
159 broken scripts or Perl modules that unconditionally specify
160 `--passive-ftp' and your firewall disallows it, you can override them
161 by replacing wget with a script that execs wget "$@" --no-passive-ftp.
163 ** The source code has been migrated to Mercurial. The repositories are
164 available at http://hg.addictivecode.org/. Prior to this, the source
165 code was hosted on Subversion (migrated from the original CVS); you can
166 still get access to older tags and branches for Wget in the Subversion
167 repository at http://addictivecode.org/svn/wget/.
169 * Changes in Wget 1.10.
171 ** Downloading files larger than 2GB, sometimes referred to as "large
172 files", now works on systems that support them. This includes the
173 majority of modern Unixes, as well as MS Windows.
175 ** IPv6 is now supported by Wget. Unlike the experimental code in
176 1.9, this version supports dual-family systems. The new flags
177 `--inet4' and `--inet6' (or `-4' and `-6' for short) force the use of
178 IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. Note that IPv6 support has not yet been
181 ** Microsoft's proprietary "NTLM" method of HTTP authentication is now
182 supported. This authentication method is undocumented and only used
183 by IIS. Note that *proxy* authentication is not supported in this
184 release; you can only authenticate to the target web site.
186 ** Wget no longer truncates partially downloaded files when download
187 has to start over because the server doesn't support Range. Instead,
188 with such servers Wget now simply ignores the data up to the byte
189 where the last attempt left off, and only then continues appending to
190 the file. That way the downloaded file never shrinks, and download
191 retries from servers without support for partial downloads work even
192 when downloading to stdout.
196 *** SSL/TLS downloads now attempt to verify the server's certificate
197 against the recognized certificate authorities. This requires CA
198 certificates to have been installed in a location visible to the
199 OpenSSL library. If this is not the case, you can get the bundle
200 yourself from a source you trust (for example, the bundle extracted
201 from Mozilla available at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html),
202 and point Wget to the PEM file using the `--ca-certificate'
203 command-line option or the corresponding `.wgetrc' command.
205 *** Secure downloads now verify that the host name in the URL matches
206 the "common name" in the certificate presented by the server.
208 *** Although the above checks provide more secure downloads, they
209 unavoidably break interoperability with some sites that worked with
210 previous versions, particularly those using self-signed, expired, or
211 otherwise invalid certificates. If you encounter "certificate
212 verification" errors or complaints that "common name doesn't match
213 requested host name" and are convinced of the site's authenticity, you
214 can use `--no-check-certificate' to bypass both checks.
216 *** Talking to SSL/TLS servers over proxies now actually works.
217 Previous versions of Wget erroneously sent GET requests for https
218 URLs. Wget 1.10 utilizes the CONNECT method designed for this
221 *** The SSL/TLS-related options have been redesigned and, for the
222 first time, documented in the manual. The old, undocumented, options
223 are no longer supported.
225 ** Passive FTP is now the default FTP transfer mode. Use
226 `--no-passive-ftp' or specify `passive_ftp = off' in your init file to
227 revert to the old behavior.
229 ** The `--header' option can now be used to override generated
230 headers. For example, `wget --header="Host: foo.bar"
231 http://127.0.0.1' tells Wget to connect to localhost, but to specify
232 "foo.bar" in the `Host' header. In previous versions such use of
233 `--header' lead to duplicate headers in HTTP requests.
235 ** The responses without headers, aka "HTTP 0.9" responses, are
236 detected and handled. Although HTTP 0.9 has long been obsolete, it is
237 still occasionally used, sometimes by accident.
239 ** The progress bar is now updated regularly even when the data does
240 not arrive from the network.
242 ** Wget no longer preserves permissions of files retrieved by FTP by
243 default. Anonymous FTP servers frequently use permissions like "664",
244 which might not be what the user wants. The new option
245 `--preserve-permissions' and the corresponding `.wgetrc' variable can
246 be used to revert to the old behavior.
248 ** The new option `--protocol-directories' instructs Wget to also use
249 the protocol name as a directory component of local file names.
251 ** Options that previously unconditionally set or unset various flags
252 are now boolean options that can be invoked as either `--OPTION' or
253 `--no-OPTION'. Options that required an argument "on" or "off" have
254 also been changed this way, but they still accept the old syntax for
255 backward compatibility. For example, instead of `--glob=off' you can
258 Allowing `--no-OPTION' for every `--OPTION' and the other way around
259 is useful because it allows the user to override non-default behavior
260 specified via `.wgetrc'.
262 ** The new option `--keep-session-cookies' causes `--save-cookies' to
263 save session cookies (normally only kept in memory) along with the
264 permanent ones. This is useful because many sites track important
265 information, such as whether the user has authenticated, in session
266 cookies. With this option multiple Wget runs are treated as a single
269 ** Wget now supports the --ftp-user and --ftp-password command
270 switches to set username and password for FTP, and the --user and
271 --password command switches to set username and password for both FTP
272 and HTTP. The --http-passwd and --proxy-passwd command switches have
273 been renamed to --http-password and --proxy-password respectively, and
274 the related http_passwd and proxy_passwd .wgetrc commands to
275 http_password and proxy_password respectively. The login and passwd
276 .wgetrc commands have been deprecated.
278 * `wget -b' now works correctly under Windows.
280 * Wget 1.9.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
282 * Changes in Wget 1.9.
284 ** It is now possible to specify that POST method be used for HTTP
285 requests. For example, `wget --post-data="id=foo&data=bar" URL' will
286 send a POST request with the specified contents.
288 ** IPv6 support is available, although it's still experimental.
290 ** The `--timeout' option now also affects DNS lookup and establishing
291 the TCP connection. Previously it only affected reading and writing
292 data. Those three timeouts can be set separately using
293 `--dns-timeout', `--connection-timeout', and `--read-timeout',
296 ** Download speed shown by the progress bar is based on the data
297 recently read, rather than the average speed of the entire download.
298 The ETA projection is still based on the overall average.
300 ** It is now possible to connect to FTP servers through FWTK
301 firewalls. Set ftp_proxy to an FTP URL, and Wget will automatically
302 log on to the proxy as "username@host".
304 ** The new option `--retry-connrefused' makes Wget retry downloads
305 even in the face of refused connections, which are otherwise
306 considered a fatal error.
308 ** The new option `--no-dns-cache' may be used to prevent Wget from
311 ** Wget no longer escapes characters in local file names based on
312 whether they're appropriate in URLs. Escaping can still occur for
313 nonprintable characters or for '/', but no longer for frequent
314 characters such as space. You can use the new option
315 --restrict-file-names to relax or strengthen these rules, which can be
316 useful if you dislike the default or if you're downloading to
317 non-native partitions.
319 ** Handling of HTML comments has been dumbed down to conform to what
320 users expect and other browsers do: instead of being treated as SGML
321 declaration, a comment is terminated at the first occurrence of "-->".
322 Use `--strict-comments' to revert to the old behavior.
324 ** Wget now correctly handles relative URIs that begin with "//", such
325 as "//img.foo.com/foo.jpg".
327 ** Boolean options in `.wgetrc' and on the command line now accept
328 values "yes" and "no" along with the traditional "on" and "off".
330 ** It is now possible to specify decimal values for timeouts, waiting
331 periods, and download rate. For instance, `--wait=0.5' now works as
332 expected, as does `--dns-timeout=0.5' and even `--limit-rate=2.5k'.
334 * Wget 1.8.2 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
336 * Wget 1.8.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
338 * Changes in Wget 1.8.
340 ** A new progress indicator is now available and used by default.
341 You can choose the progress bar type with `--progress=TYPE'. Two
342 types are available, "bar" (the new default), and "dot" (the old
343 dotted indicator). You can permanently revert to the old progress
344 indicator by putting `progress = dot' in your `.wgetrc'.
346 ** You can limit the download rate of the retrieval using the
347 `--limit-rate' option. For example, `wget --limit-rate=15k URL' will
348 tell Wget not to download the body of the URL faster than 15 kilobytes
351 ** Recursive retrieval and link conversion have been revamped:
353 *** Wget now traverses links breadth-first. This makes the
354 calculation of depth much more reliable than before. Also, recursive
355 downloads are faster and consume *significantly* less memory than
358 *** Links are converted only when the entire retrieval is complete.
359 This is the only safe thing to do, as only then is it known what URLs
360 have been downloaded.
362 *** BASE tags are handled correctly when converting links. Since Wget
363 already resolves <base href="..."> when resolving handling URLs, link
364 conversion now makes the BASE tags point to an empty string.
366 *** HTML anchors are now handled correctly. Links to an anchor in the
367 same document (<a href="#anchorname">), which used to confuse Wget,
368 are now converted correctly.
370 *** When in page-requisites (-p) mode, no-parent (-np) is ignored when
371 retrieving for inline images, stylesheets, and other documents needed
374 *** Page-requisites (-p) mode now works with frames. In other words,
375 `wget -p URL-THAT-USES-FRAMES' will now download the frame HTML files,
376 and all the files that they need to be displayed properly.
378 ** `--base' now works conjunction with `--input-file', providing a
379 base for each URL and thereby allowing the URLs in the file to be
382 ** If a host has more than one IP address, Wget uses the other
383 addresses when accessing the first one fails.
385 ** Host directories now contain port information if the URL is at a
388 ** Wget now supports the robots.txt directives specified in
389 <http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots-rfc.txt>.
391 ** URL parser has been fixed, especially the infamous overzealous
392 quoting. Wget no longer dequotes reserved characters, e.g. `%3F' is
393 no longer translated to `?', nor `%2B' to `+'. Unsafe characters
394 which are not reserved are still escaped, of course.
396 ** No more than 20 successive redirections are allowed.
398 * Wget 1.7.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
400 * Changes in Wget 1.7.
402 ** SSL (`https') pages now work if you compile Wget with SSL support;
403 use the `--with-ssl' configure flag. You need to have OpenSSL
406 ** Cookies are now supported. Wget will accept cookies sent by the
407 server and return them in later requests. Additionally, it can load
408 and save cookies to disk, in the same format that Netscape uses.
410 ** "Keep-alive" (persistent) HTTP connections are now supported.
411 Using keep-alive allows Wget to share one TCP/IP connection for
412 many retrievals, making multiple-file downloads faster and less
413 stressing for the server and the network.
415 ** Wget now recognizes FTP directory listings generated by NT and VMS
418 ** It is now possible to recurse through FTP sites where logging in
419 puts you in some directory other than '/'.
421 ** You may now use `~' to mean home directory in `.wgetrc'. For
422 example, `load_cookies = ~/.netscape/cookies.txt' works as you would
425 ** The HTML parser has been rewritten. The new one works more
426 reliably, allows finer-grained control over which tags and attributes
427 are detected, and has better support for some features like correctly
428 skipping comments and declarations, decoding entities, etc. It is
431 ** <meta name="robots"> tags are now respected.
433 ** Wget's internal tables now use hash tables instead of linked lists
434 where appropriate. This results in huge speedups when retrieving
435 large sites (thousands of documents).
437 ** Wget now has a man page, automatically generated from the Texinfo
438 documentation. (The last version that shipped with a man page was
439 1.4.5). To get this, you need to have pod2man from the Perl
440 distribution installed on your system.
442 * Changes in Wget 1.6
444 ** Administrative changes.
446 *** Maintainership. Due to Hrvoje being plagued with a "real job",
447 Dan Harkless is the most active maintainer (not that he doesn't have a
448 real job as well). Hrvoje still participates occasionally, and both
449 are being helped by many other people.
451 *** Web page. Thanks to Jan Prikryl, Wget has an "official" web page.
454 http://sunsite.dk/wget/
456 *** Anonymous CVS. Thanks to ever-helpful Karsten Thygesen, Wget
457 sources are now available at an anonymous CVS server. Take a look at
458 the web page for downloading instructions.
460 ** New -K / --backup-converted / backup_converted = on option causes files
461 modified due to -k to be saved with a .orig prefix before being changed. When
462 using -N as well, it is these .orig files that are compared against the server.
464 ** New --follow-tags / follow_tags = ... option allows you to restrict
465 Wget to following only certain HTML tags when doing a recursive
466 retrieval. -G / --ignore-tags / ignore_tags = ... is just the
467 opposite -- all tags but the ones you specify will be followed.
469 ** New --waitretry / waitretry = SECONDS option allows waiting between retries
470 of failed downloads. Wget will use "linear" backoff, waiting 1 second after the
471 first failure, 2 after the second, up to SECONDS. waitretry is set to 10 by
472 default in the system wgetrc.
474 ** New -p / --page-requisites / page_requisites = on option causes
475 Wget to download all ancillary files necessary to display a given HTML
476 page properly (e.g. inlined images).
478 ** New -E / --html-extension / html_extension = on option causes Wget
479 to append ".html" to text/html filenames not ending in regexp
480 "\.[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]?".
482 ** New type of .wgetrc command -- "lockable Boolean". Can be set to on, off,
483 always, or never. This allows the .wgetrc to override the commandline. So far,
484 passive_ftp is the only .wgetrc command which takes a lockable Boolean.
486 ** A number of new translation files have been added.
488 ** New --bind-address / bind_address = <address> option for people on hosts
489 bound to multiple IP addresses.
491 ** wget now accepts (illegal per HTTP spec) relative URLs in HTTP redirects.
493 * Wget 1.5.3 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
495 * Wget 1.5.2 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
497 * Wget 1.5.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
499 * Changes in Wget 1.5.0
501 ** Wget speaks many languages!
503 On systems with gettext(), Wget will output messages in the language
504 set by the current locale, if available. At this time we support
505 Czech, German, Croatian, Italian, Norwegian and Portuguese.
507 ** Opie (Skey) is now supported with FTP.
509 ** HTTP Digest Access Authentication (RFC2069) is now supported.
511 ** The new `-b' option makes Wget go to background automatically.
513 ** The `-I' and `-X' options now accept wildcard arguments.
515 ** The `-w' option now accepts suffixes `s' for seconds, `m' for
516 minutes, `h' for hours, `d' for days and `w' for weeks.
518 ** Upon getting SIGHUP, the whole previous log is now copied to
521 ** Wget now understands proxy settings with explicit usernames and
522 passwords, e.g. `http://user:password@proxy.foo.com/'.
524 ** You can use the new `--cut-dirs' option to make Wget create less
527 ** The `;type=a' appendix to FTP URLs is now recognized. For
528 instance, the following command will retrieve the welcoming message in
531 wget "ftp://ftp.somewhere.com/welcome.msg;type=a"
533 ** `--help' and `--version' options have been redone to to conform to
534 standards set by other GNU utilities.
536 ** Wget should now be compilable under MS Windows environment. MS
537 Visual C++ and Watcom C have been used successfully.
539 ** If the file length is known, percentages are displayed during
542 ** The manual page, now hopelessly out of date, is no longer
543 distributed with Wget.
545 * Wget 1.4.5 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
547 * Wget 1.4.4 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
549 * Changes in Wget 1.4.3
551 ** Wget is now a GNU utility.
553 ** Can do passive FTP.
557 ** Info documentation expanded.
559 ** Compiles on pre-ANSI compilers.
561 ** Global wgetrc now goes to /usr/local/etc (i.e. $sysconfdir).
565 * Changes in Wget 1.4.2
567 ** New mirror site at ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/infosystems/wget/,
568 thanks to Karsten Thygesen.
570 ** Mailing list! Mail to wget-request@sunsite.auc.dk to subscribe.
572 ** New option --delete-after for proxy prefetching.
574 ** New option --retr-symlinks to retrieve symbolic links like plain
577 ** rmold.pl -- script to remove files deleted on the remote server
579 ** --convert-links should work now.
583 * Changes in Wget 1.4.1
587 ** Added -I (the opposite of -X).
589 ** Dot tracing is now customizable; try wget --dot-style=binary
591 * Changes in Wget 1.4.0
593 ** Wget 1.4.0 [formerly known as Geturl] is an extensive rewrite of
594 Geturl. Although many things look suspiciously similar, most of the
595 stuff was rewritten, like recursive retrieval, HTTP, FTP and mostly
596 everything else. Wget should be now easier to debug, maintain and,
597 most importantly, use.
599 ** Recursive HTTP should now work without glitches, even with Location
600 changes, server-generated directory listings and other naughty stuff.
602 ** HTTP regetting is supported on servers that support Range
603 specification. WWW authorization is supported -- try
604 wget http://user:password@hostname/
606 ** FTP support was rewritten and widely enhanced. Globbing should now
607 work flawlessly. Symbolic links are created locally. All the
608 information the Unix-style ls listing can give is now recognized.
610 ** Recursive FTP is supported, e.g.
611 wget -r ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/
613 ** You can specify "rejected" directories, to which you do not want to
614 enter, e.g. with wget -X /pub
616 ** Time-stamping is supported, with both HTTP and FTP. Try wget -N URL.
618 ** A new texinfo reference manual is provided. It can be read with
619 Emacs, standalone info, or converted to HTML, dvi or postscript.
621 ** Fixed a long-standing bug, so that Wget now works over SLIP
