Re: security of wget when proxy is used: msg#00020

Subject: Re: security of wget when proxy is used
Hello, Anita.

How the security is assured through wget when proxy is on?
You answered your question below:

> Because the passwords are stored in plain text
in .wgetrc or in .netrc, and cross the internet in plain text.
No security whatsoever...

How can I verify whether the requested file is successfully downloaded?
What do you mean by successfully downloaded??

wget just saves what is served.
Look at the exit codes or parse the output if you need.

Kalin.
