Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

bad url handling (splitting): msg#00063

web.wget.general

Subject: bad url handling (splitting)

Hi!

I think wget is the best command line download utility, but:

Wget handles this url badly:
<---------------------- begin of screenshot
--------------------------------->
pila@server686:/tmp$ wget ftp://anonymous:a@xxxx@www.xxx.org/
--20:55:11-- ftp://anonymous:*password*@b.hu@www.xxx.org/
=> `.listing'
Resolving b.hu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx failed: Host not found.
unlink: No such file or directory
pila@server686:/tmp[1]$
<------------------------ end of screenshot
--------------------------------->
You can see, that wget splits this url badly (as opposed to
Netscape). The correct split would be:
protocol = ftp
user = anonymous
pass = a@xxxx
host = www.xxx.org
file+path = /

If some RFC says that You are right, then it could be solved
in an other way:
there are --http-user, --http-passwd, --proxy-user and
--proxy-passwd
options to wget.
What about --ftp-user and --ftp-passwd options?

Bye,
Pilaszy Istvan
