GNU Wget 1.11 (Default branch) |
|
|
GNU Wget is a utility for noninteractive download of
files from the Web. It supports HTTP and FTP
protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP
proxies. It can follow HTML links, download many
pages, and convert the links for local viewing. It
can also mirror FTP hierarchies or only those files
that have changed. Wget has been designed for
robustness over slow network connections; if a
download fails due to a network problem, it will
keep retrying until the whole file has been
retrieved.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
The license was changed to GPLv3+. Improvements
were made to the HTTP password authentication
code, bringing it a little closer to RFC
compliance. Basic support was added for respecting
filenames specified via "Content-Disposition"
headers. An --ignore-case option was added to make
wildcard- and suffix-matching case-insensitive.
The --spider feature is working again (as it was
broken in previous release). Many bugs were fixed.
