Synopsis
wget bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated wget package that fixes several bugs is now available.
Description
GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility that can use either the HTTP or FTP
protocols.
This package rebases Wget from version 1.10.2 to version 1.11.4 and fixes
several bugs:
- the --recursive option would fail to retrieve any files; only a directory
listing. (BZ#286161)
- Wget would ignore the --directory-prefix option (-P) if the server
returned the header "Content-Disposition". Wget would then save the
retrieved files in the current working directory, instead of the directory
specified. (BZ#436822)
- the --mirror option would fail to retrieve files from FTP servers; only a
directory listing (BZ#459679)
- the --no-content-disposition option would cause Wget to fail with the
message "init.c:612: setval_internal: Assertion `0 <= comind && comind <
(sizeof (commands) / sizeof ((commands)[0]))' failed." (BZ#492672)
- Wget would ignore the --no-clobber (-nc) argument and download files a
second time. (BZ#475900)
All users of wget should upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these
and other bugs, and adds numerous enhancements. For full details of bugs
fixed in and features added to Wget between versions 1.10.2 and 1.11.4,
refer to the upstream NEWS files available from the Wget website referenced
below.
