151 response to POST is "technically disallowed", which I cannot find

617 * Makefile.in: Moved top_builddir out of "User configuration
618 section" of top Makefile and analogous spot in this one.
620 2001-03-26 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
622 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Explained that you need
623 to use -r -l1 -p to get the two levels of requisites for a
624 <FRAMESET> page. Also made a few other wording improvements.
626 2001-03-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
628 * Makefile.in: Using '^' in the sed call caused a weird failure on
629 Solaris 2.6. Changed it to a ','. Defined top_builddir.
631 2001-02-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
633 * wget.texi: Corrections, clarifications, and English fixes to
634 time-stamping documentation. Also moved -nr from "Recursive
635 Retrieval Options" to "FTP Options" and gave it a @cindex entry.
636 Alphabetized FTP options by long option name. Mentioned that
637 .listing symlinked to /etc/passwd is not a security hole, but that
638 other files could be, so root shouldn't run wget in user dirs.
640 2001-02-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
642 * Makefile.in: Make wget man page and install it if we have
643 pod2man. Added some missing '$(srcdir)/'s. Added missing
644 dependencies on install targets (allowing you to just do `make
645 install' rather than forcing you to do `make && make install').
646 Also, Makefile rules should always use output file parameters if
647 available rather than redirecting stdout with '>', or you falsely
648 satisfy dependencies if the tool you're running is missing or
649 fails -- fixed call of texi2pod.pl that did this wrong.
651 * texi2pod.pl: Removed from CVS. Now automatically generated.
653 * texi2pod.pl.in: This new file is processed into texi2pod.pl,
654 getting the appropriate path to the Perl 5+ executable on this
655 system and becoming executable (CVS files, by contrast, don't
658 2001-02-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
660 * wget.texi (Download Options): Further improvement to --continue
661 documentation -- explain interaction with -r and -N, mention
662 usefulness for downloading new sections of appended-to files, etc.
664 2001-01-06 Jan Prikryl <prikryl@cg.tuwien.ac.at>
666 * wget.texi (Reporting Bugs): Deleted the setence about Cc-ing the
667 bug report to Wget mailing list as the bug report address is an
668 alias for the mailing ist anyway.
669 (Mailing List): Added URL for the alternate archive.
671 * wget.texi: Bunch of cosmetical changes.
673 * Makefile.in: Added targets for manpage generation using
674 texi2pod.pl and pod2man (comes with Perl5). As we cannot rely on
675 Perl5 being available on the system, manpage is not being built
676 automatically. Updated '*clean' targets to remove
677 'sample.wgetrc.munged...', 'wget.pod', and 'wget.man'.
679 * texi2pod.pl: New file copied from GCC distribution to facilitate
680 automatic manpage generation.
682 2001-01-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
684 * wget.texi (Download Options): Did a bunch of clarification and
685 correction to the description of --continue.
687 2001-01-06 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
689 * ChangeLog: The '[Not in 1.6 branch.]'s were decided not to be
690 the best way to go about my aim. Removed them in favor of:
692 * ChangeLog-branches/1.6_branch.ChangeLog: New file.
694 2000-12-31 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
696 * Makefile.in (distclean): sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion
697 needs to be included in the distribution or it'll get regenerated
698 due to the wget.info dependency, and then that file will get
699 regenerated, forcing people to have makeinfo installed
700 unnecessarily. We could use a kludge of a 0-length file in the
701 distro, but the file isn't that big and should compress very well.
703 * wget.texi: Changed "VERSION 1.5.3+dev" to "VERSION 1.7-dev" and
704 "UPDATED Feb 2000" to "UPDATED Dec 2000". Like the comment in the
705 file says, it'd be nice if these were handled automatically...
707 * ChangeLog: Since this flat file doesn't have multiple branches,
708 looking at the dates would make you think that things went into
709 1.6 that actually just went into the 1.7-dev branch. Added "[Not
710 in 1.6 branch.]" where appropriate to clarify.
712 2000-12-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
714 * Makefile.in (install.info): Info files are *not* in $(srcdir),
715 but in the current build dir.
717 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
719 * wget.texi (Robots): Document that we now support the meta tag
722 2000-11-16 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
724 * wget.texi: Use --- consistently.
725 Spell "Wget" with starting capital letter consistently.
726 Use ``...'' or @dfn{} instead of simple double quotes where
728 Use double space as separator between sentences consistently.
730 2000-11-15 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
732 * wget.texi (Robots): Rearrange text. Mention the meta tag.
734 2000-11-14 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
736 * wget.texi: Add GFDL; remove norobots specification.
738 * wget.texi (Sample Wgetrc): Remove warnings with lateish
739 makeinfo, mostly by changing xref{} to pxref{} when inside
742 2000-11-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
744 * wget.texi: cc.fer.hr -> srk.fer.hr.
746 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
748 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Use $(srcdir).
750 2000-11-05 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
752 * wget.texi: Updated names of contributors.
754 2000-10-23 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@arsdigita.com>
756 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Remove Netscape bullying.
758 2000-10-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
760 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Improved --delete-after docs.
761 (Download Options): Documented Rob Mayoff's new --bind-address option.
762 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented Rob Mayoff's new bind_address command.
764 2000-10-20 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
766 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Sugg. -E on 1-page download.
768 2000-10-19 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
770 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Documented my new -E / --html-extension.
771 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented my new html_extension option and
772 John Daily's "quad" values (which I renamed to "lockable
773 Boolean"). When I documented Damir Dzeko's --referer, I forgot to
774 add the .wgetrc equivalent; mentioned the "referrer" spelling issue.
776 2000-10-09 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
778 * wget.texi (FTP Options): --retr-symlinks wasn't documented properly.
780 2000-08-30 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
782 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented new -p option.
783 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented -p's equvialent, page_requisites.
785 2000-08-23 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
787 * wget.texi (Download Options): Using -c on a file that's already fully
788 downloaded results in an unchanged file and no second ".1" copy.
790 * wget.texi (Logging and Input File Options): -B / --base was not
791 documented as a separate item, and the .wgetrc version was misleading.
793 * wget.texi (Wgetrc Commands): Changed all instances of
794 ", the same as" to the more grammatical " -- the same as".
796 2000-08-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
798 * wget.texi (Download Options): --no-clobber's documentation was
799 severely lacking -- ameliorated the situation. Some of the
800 previously-undocumented stuff (like the multiple-file-version
801 numeric-suffixing) that's now mentioned for the first (and only)
802 time in the -nc documentation should probably be mentioned
803 elsewhere, but due to the way that wget.texi's hierarchy is laid
804 out, I had a hard time finding anywhere else appropriate.
806 2000-07-17 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
808 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Minor clarification in "download a
809 single HTML page and all files necessary to display it" example.
811 2000-05-22 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
813 * wget.texi (HTTP Options): Damir Dzeko <ddzeko@zesoi.fer.hr> did
814 not document his new --referer option. Did so.
816 2000-04-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
818 * sample.wgetrc: Realized I put a global setting in the local section.
820 2000-04-13 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
822 * Makefile.in (sample.wgetrc.munged_for_texi_inclusion): Added
823 build, dependencies, and distclean cleanup of this new file.
825 * sample.wgetrc: Uncommented waitretry and set it to 10, clarified
826 some wording, and re-wrapped some text to 71 columns due to
827 @sample indentation in wget.texi.
829 * wget.texi: Herold further expounded on the behavior of waitretry
830 -- reworded docs again. Changed note saying _all_ lines in
831 sample.wgetrc are commented out. Don't have an entire hand-
832 cut-and-pasted copy of sample.wgetrc in this file -- use @include.
834 2000-04-12 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
836 * Makefile.in (install.wgetrc): I completely missed the message
837 that the new wgetrc wasn't being installed the first couple of
838 times I ran `make install' after changing sample.wgetrc. Added
839 blank lines around the message and a "<Hit RETURN to
840 acknowledge>", and reworded the message to be a bit more clear.
842 * sample.wgetrc: Added entries for backup_converted and waitretry.
844 * wget.texi (Download Options and Wgetrc Commands): Herold Heiko
845 <Heiko.Herold@previnet.it>'s new --waitretry option was
846 undocumented until now. Reworded the suggested documentation he
849 2000-03-10 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
851 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): In -K description,
852 added a link to the discussion of interaction with -N.
853 (Recursive Accept/Reject Options): Did some alphabetizing and added
854 descriptions of new --follow-tags and -G / --ignore-tags options.
855 (Following Links): Changed "the loads of" to "loads of".
856 (Wgetrc Commands): Added descriptions of new follow_tags and
857 ignore_tags commands.
859 2000-03-02 Daniel S. Lewart <d-lewart@uiuc.edu>
861 * wget.texi: Fix spelling and grammatical mistakes.
863 2000-03-02 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@iskon.hr>
865 * wget.texi (Contributors): Update contributors list.
867 2000-03-01 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
869 * wget.texi (HTTP Time-Stamping Internals): Added a note about my
870 newly-implemented interaction between -K and -N.
872 2000-02-29 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
874 * wget.texi: Updated version to 1.5.3+dev, updated copyrights to
875 2000, changed Hrvoje's old, invalid email address to his new one,
876 and added " and the developers" to the .texi file's byline.
878 2000-02-18 Dan Harkless <wget@harkless.org>
880 * wget.texi (Recursive Retrieval Options): Documented my new -K /
881 --backup-converted option.
882 (Wgetrc Commands): Documented backup_converted equivalent.
884 1998-09-10 Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr>
