./net/wget, Retrieve files from the net via HTTP and FTP

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: pkgsrc-2018Q4, Version: 1.20.1, Package name: wget-1.20.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Wget [formerly known as Geturl] is a freely available network utility
to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two
most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, thus
enabling work in the background, after having logged off.

The recursive retrieval of HTML pages, as well as FTP sites is
supported -- you can use Wget to make mirrors of archives and home
pages, or traverse the web like a WWW robot (Wget understands
/robots.txt).

   Log message:
   updating wget to 1.20.1, which fixes CVE-2018-20483

   Upstream changelog:
      * Changes in Wget 1.20.1

      ** --xattr is no longer default since it introduces privacy issues.

      ** --xattr saves the Referer as scheme/host/port, user/pw/path/query/fragment
         are no longer saved to prevent privacy issues.

      ** --xattr saves the Original URL without user/password to prevent
         privacy issues.

      * Changes in Wget 1.20

      ** Add new option `--retry-on-host-error` to treat local errors as
         transient and hence Wget will retry to download the file after
         a brief waiting period.

      ** Fixed multiple potential resource leaks as found by static analysis

      ** Wget will now not create an empty wget-log file when running with
         -q and -b switches together

      ** When compiled using the GnuTLS >= 3.6.3, Wget now has support for TLSv1.3

      ** Now there is support for using libpcre2 for regex pattern matching

      ** When downloading over FTP recursively, one can now use the
         --{accept,reject}-regex switches to fine-tune the downloaded files

      ** Building Wget from the git sources now requires autoconf 2.63 or above.
         Building from the Tarballs works as it used to.
