9 * Changes in Wget 1.11.4
10
11 ** Fixed an issue (apparently a regression) where -O would refuse to
12 download when -nc was given, even though the file didn't exist.
13
14 ** Fixed a situation where Wget could abort with --continue if the
15 remote server gives a content-length of zero when the file exists
16 locally with content.
17
18 ** Fixed a crash on some systems, due to Wget casting a pointer-to-long
19 to a pointer-to-time_t.
20
21 ** Translation updates for Catalan.
22
23 * Changes in Wget 1.11.3
24
25 ** Downgraded -N with -O to a warning, rather than an error.
26
27 ** Translation updates
28
29 * Changes in Wget 1.11.2
30
31 ** Fixed a problem in authenticating over HTTPS through a proxy.
32 (Regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2.)
33
34 ** The combination of -r or -p with -O, which was disallowed in 1.11,
35 has been downgraded to a warning in 1.11.2. (-O and -N, which was never
36 meaningful, is still an error.)
37
38 ** Further improvements to progress bar displays in non-English locales
39 (too many spaces could be inserted, causing the display to scroll).
40
41 ** Successive invocations of Wget on FTP URLS, with --no-remove-listing
42 and --continue, was causing Wget to append, rather than replace,
43 information in the .listing file, and thereby download the same files
44 multiple times. This has been fixed in 1.11.2.
45
46 ** Wget 1.11 no longer allowed ".." to persist at the beginning of URLs,
47 for improved conformance with RFC 3986. However, this behavior presents
48 problems for some FTP setups, and so they are now preserved again, for
49 FTP URLs only.
50
51 * Changes in Wget 1.11.1.
52
53 ** Interrupted downloads no longer result in renaming the file
54 (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
55
56 ** Progress bar now displays correctly in non-English locales (and a
57 related assertion failure was fixed).
58
59 ** Wget no longer issues a GET request over HTTP for files it should
60 know it's not going to download (regression in 1.11 over 1.10.2).
61
62 ** Added option --auth-no-challenge, to support broken pre-1.11
63 authentication-before-server-challenge, which turns out to still be
64 useful for some limited cases.
65
66 ** Documentation of accept/reject lists in the manual's "Types of
67 Files" section now explains various aspects of their behavior that may
68 be surprising, and notes that they may change in the future.
69
70 ** Documentation of --no-parents now explains how a trailing slash, or
71 lack thereof, in the specified URL, will affect behavior.
72
73 * Changes in Wget 1.11.
74
75 ** Timestamping now uses the value from the most recent HTTP response,
76 rather than the first one it got.
77
78 ** Authentication information is no longer sent as part of the Referer
79 header in recursive fetches.
80
81 ** No authentication credentials are sent until a challenge is issued,
82 for improved security. Authentication handling is still not
83 RFC-compliant, as once a Basic challenge has been received, it will
84 assume it can send credentials to any URL at that same host, and not
85 just the ones at or below the original authenticated location.
86 Credentials for Digest authentication are still never saved or issued
87 automatically, and continue to require a challenge for each resource.
88
89 ** Added --max-redirect option, allowing the user to specify what should
90 be the maximum number of HTTP redirects to follow.
91
92 ** Wget now supports saving HTTP downloads using file names specified by
93 the `Content-Disposition' header. This is a standard way of specifying
94 the file name used by many web dynamically generated pages. However, the
95 current implementation is inefficient, and known to have bugs. It is
96 EXPERIMENTAL only, and not enabled by default. Use --content-disposition
97 to enable it.
98
99 ** The new option `--ignore-case' makes Wget ignore case when
100 matching files, directories, and wildcards. This affects the -X, -I,
101 -A, and -R options, as well as globbing in FTP URLs.
102
103 ** ETA projection is now displayed in "dot" progress output as well as
104 in the default progress bar. (The dot progress is used by default when
105 logging Wget's output to file using the `-o' option.)
106
107 ** The "lockable boolean" argument type is no longer supported. It
108 was only used by the passive_ftp .wgetrc setting. If you're running
109 broken scripts or Perl modules that unconditionally specify
110 `--passive-ftp' and your firewall disallows it, you can override them
111 by replacing wget with a script that execs wget "$@" --no-passive-ftp.
112
113 ** The source code has been migrated to Mercurial. The repositories are
114 available at http://hg.addictivecode.org/. Prior to this, the source
115 code was hosted on Subversion (migrated from the original CVS); you can
116 still get access to older tags and branches for Wget in the Subversion
117 repository at http://addictivecode.org/svn/wget/.
118
119 * Changes in Wget 1.10.
120
121 ** Downloading files larger than 2GB, sometimes referred to as "large
122 files", now works on systems that support them. This includes the
123 majority of modern Unixes, as well as MS Windows.
124
125 ** IPv6 is now supported by Wget. Unlike the experimental code in
126 1.9, this version supports dual-family systems. The new flags
127 `--inet4' and `--inet6' (or `-4' and `-6' for short) force the use of
128 IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. Note that IPv6 support has not yet been
129 tested on Windows.
130
131 ** Microsoft's proprietary "NTLM" method of HTTP authentication is now
132 supported. This authentication method is undocumented and only used
133 by IIS. Note that *proxy* authentication is not supported in this
134 release; you can only authenticate to the target web site.
135
136 ** Wget no longer truncates partially downloaded files when download
137 has to start over because the server doesn't support Range. Instead,
138 with such servers Wget now simply ignores the data up to the byte
139 where the last attempt left off, and only then continues appending to
140 the file. That way the downloaded file never shrinks, and download
141 retries from servers without support for partial downloads work even
142 when downloading to stdout.
143
144 ** SSL/TLS changes:
145
146 *** SSL/TLS downloads now attempt to verify the server's certificate
147 against the recognized certificate authorities. This requires CA
148 certificates to have been installed in a location visible to the
149 OpenSSL library. If this is not the case, you can get the bundle
150 yourself from a source you trust (for example, the bundle extracted
151 from Mozilla available at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html),
152 and point Wget to the PEM file using the `--ca-certificate'
153 command-line option or the corresponding `.wgetrc' command.
154
155 *** Secure downloads now verify that the host name in the URL matches
156 the "common name" in the certificate presented by the server.
157
158 *** Although the above checks provide more secure downloads, they
159 unavoidably break interoperability with some sites that worked with
160 previous versions, particularly those using self-signed, expired, or
161 otherwise invalid certificates. If you encounter "certificate
162 verification" errors or complaints that "common name doesn't match
163 requested host name" and are convinced of the site's authenticity, you
164 can use `--no-check-certificate' to bypass both checks.
165
166 *** Talking to SSL/TLS servers over proxies now actually works.
167 Previous versions of Wget erroneously sent GET requests for https
168 URLs. Wget 1.10 utilizes the CONNECT method designed for this
169 purpose.
170
171 *** The SSL/TLS-related options have been redesigned and, for the
172 first time, documented in the manual. The old, undocumented, options
173 are no longer supported.
174
175 ** Passive FTP is now the default FTP transfer mode. Use
176 `--no-passive-ftp' or specify `passive_ftp = off' in your init file to
177 revert to the old behavior.
178
179 ** The `--header' option can now be used to override generated
180 headers. For example, `wget --header="Host: foo.bar"
181 http://127.0.0.1' tells Wget to connect to localhost, but to specify
182 "foo.bar" in the `Host' header. In previous versions such use of
183 `--header' lead to duplicate headers in HTTP requests.
184
185 ** The responses without headers, aka "HTTP 0.9" responses, are
186 detected and handled. Although HTTP 0.9 has long been obsolete, it is
187 still occasionally used, sometimes by accident.
188
189 ** The progress bar is now updated regularly even when the data does
190 not arrive from the network.
191
192 ** Wget no longer preserves permissions of files retrieved by FTP by
193 default. Anonymous FTP servers frequently use permissions like "664",
194 which might not be what the user wants. The new option
195 `--preserve-permissions' and the corresponding `.wgetrc' variable can
196 be used to revert to the old behavior.
197
198 ** The new option `--protocol-directories' instructs Wget to also use
199 the protocol name as a directory component of local file names.
200
201 ** Options that previously unconditionally set or unset various flags
202 are now boolean options that can be invoked as either `--OPTION' or
203 `--no-OPTION'. Options that required an argument "on" or "off" have
204 also been changed this way, but they still accept the old syntax for
205 backward compatibility. For example, instead of `--glob=off' you can
206 write `--no-glob'.
207
208 Allowing `--no-OPTION' for every `--OPTION' and the other way around
209 is useful because it allows the user to override non-default behavior
210 specified via `.wgetrc'.
211
212 ** The new option `--keep-session-cookies' causes `--save-cookies' to
213 save session cookies (normally only kept in memory) along with the
214 permanent ones. This is useful because many sites track important
215 information, such as whether the user has authenticated, in session
216 cookies. With this option multiple Wget runs are treated as a single
217 browser session.
218
219 ** Wget now supports the --ftp-user and --ftp-password command
220 switches to set username and password for FTP, and the --user and
221 --password command switches to set username and password for both FTP
222 and HTTP. The --http-passwd and --proxy-passwd command switches have
223 been renamed to --http-password and --proxy-password respectively, and
224 the related http_passwd and proxy_passwd .wgetrc commands to
225 http_password and proxy_password respectively. The login and passwd
226 .wgetrc commands have been deprecated.
227
228 * `wget -b' now works correctly under Windows.
229
230 * Wget 1.9.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
231
232 * Changes in Wget 1.9.
233
234 ** It is now possible to specify that POST method be used for HTTP
235 requests. For example, `wget --post-data="id=foo&data=bar" URL' will
236 send a POST request with the specified contents.
237
238 ** IPv6 support is available, although it's still experimental.
239
240 ** The `--timeout' option now also affects DNS lookup and establishing
241 the TCP connection. Previously it only affected reading and writing
242 data. Those three timeouts can be set separately using
243 `--dns-timeout', `--connection-timeout', and `--read-timeout',
244 respectively.
245
246 ** Download speed shown by the progress bar is based on the data
247 recently read, rather than the average speed of the entire download.
248 The ETA projection is still based on the overall average.
249
250 ** It is now possible to connect to FTP servers through FWTK
251 firewalls. Set ftp_proxy to an FTP URL, and Wget will automatically
252 log on to the proxy as "username@host".
253
254 ** The new option `--retry-connrefused' makes Wget retry downloads
255 even in the face of refused connections, which are otherwise
256 considered a fatal error.
257
258 ** The new option `--no-dns-cache' may be used to prevent Wget from
259 caching DNS lookups.
260
261 ** Wget no longer escapes characters in local file names based on
262 whether they're appropriate in URLs. Escaping can still occur for
263 nonprintable characters or for '/', but no longer for frequent
264 characters such as space. You can use the new option
265 --restrict-file-names to relax or strengthen these rules, which can be
266 useful if you dislike the default or if you're downloading to
267 non-native partitions.
268
269 ** Handling of HTML comments has been dumbed down to conform to what
270 users expect and other browsers do: instead of being treated as SGML
271 declaration, a comment is terminated at the first occurrence of "-->".
272 Use `--strict-comments' to revert to the old behavior.
273
274 ** Wget now correctly handles relative URIs that begin with "//", such
275 as "//img.foo.com/foo.jpg".
276
277 ** Boolean options in `.wgetrc' and on the command line now accept
278 values "yes" and "no" along with the traditional "on" and "off".
279
280 ** It is now possible to specify decimal values for timeouts, waiting
281 periods, and download rate. For instance, `--wait=0.5' now works as
282 expected, as does `--dns-timeout=0.5' and even `--limit-rate=2.5k'.
283
284 * Wget 1.8.2 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
285
286 * Wget 1.8.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
287
288 * Changes in Wget 1.8.
289
290 ** A new progress indicator is now available and used by default.
291 You can choose the progress bar type with `--progress=TYPE'. Two
292 types are available, "bar" (the new default), and "dot" (the old
293 dotted indicator). You can permanently revert to the old progress
294 indicator by putting `progress = dot' in your `.wgetrc'.
295
296 ** You can limit the download rate of the retrieval using the
297 `--limit-rate' option. For example, `wget --limit-rate=15k URL' will
298 tell Wget not to download the body of the URL faster than 15 kilobytes
299 per second.
300
301 ** Recursive retrieval and link conversion have been revamped:
302
303 *** Wget now traverses links breadth-first. This makes the
304 calculation of depth much more reliable than before. Also, recursive
305 downloads are faster and consume *significantly* less memory than
306 before.
307
308 *** Links are converted only when the entire retrieval is complete.
309 This is the only safe thing to do, as only then is it known what URLs
310 have been downloaded.
311
312 *** BASE tags are handled correctly when converting links. Since Wget
313 already resolves <base href="..."> when resolving handling URLs, link
314 conversion now makes the BASE tags point to an empty string.
315
316 *** HTML anchors are now handled correctly. Links to an anchor in the
317 same document (<a href="#anchorname">), which used to confuse Wget,
318 are now converted correctly.
319
320 *** When in page-requisites (-p) mode, no-parent (-np) is ignored when
321 retrieving for inline images, stylesheets, and other documents needed
322 to display the page.
323
324 *** Page-requisites (-p) mode now works with frames. In other words,
325 `wget -p URL-THAT-USES-FRAMES' will now download the frame HTML files,
326 and all the files that they need to be displayed properly.
327
328 ** `--base' now works conjunction with `--input-file', providing a
329 base for each URL and thereby allowing the URLs in the file to be
330 relative.
331
332 ** If a host has more than one IP address, Wget uses the other
333 addresses when accessing the first one fails.
334
335 ** Host directories now contain port information if the URL is at a
336 non-standard port.
337
338 ** Wget now supports the robots.txt directives specified in
339 <http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots-rfc.txt>.
340
341 ** URL parser has been fixed, especially the infamous overzealous
342 quoting. Wget no longer dequotes reserved characters, e.g. `%3F' is
343 no longer translated to `?', nor `%2B' to `+'. Unsafe characters
344 which are not reserved are still escaped, of course.
345
346 ** No more than 20 successive redirections are allowed.
347
348 * Wget 1.7.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
349
350 * Changes in Wget 1.7.
351
352 ** SSL (`https') pages now work if you compile Wget with SSL support;
353 use the `--with-ssl' configure flag. You need to have OpenSSL
354 installed.
355
356 ** Cookies are now supported. Wget will accept cookies sent by the
357 server and return them in later requests. Additionally, it can load
358 and save cookies to disk, in the same format that Netscape uses.
359
360 ** "Keep-alive" (persistent) HTTP connections are now supported.
361 Using keep-alive allows Wget to share one TCP/IP connection for
362 many retrievals, making multiple-file downloads faster and less
363 stressing for the server and the network.
364
365 ** Wget now recognizes FTP directory listings generated by NT and VMS
366 servers.
367
368 ** It is now possible to recurse through FTP sites where logging in
369 puts you in some directory other than '/'.
370
371 ** You may now use `~' to mean home directory in `.wgetrc'. For
372 example, `load_cookies = ~/.netscape/cookies.txt' works as you would
373 expect.
374
375 ** The HTML parser has been rewritten. The new one works more
376 reliably, allows finer-grained control over which tags and attributes
377 are detected, and has better support for some features like correctly
378 skipping comments and declarations, decoding entities, etc. It is
379 also more general.
380
381 ** <meta name="robots"> tags are now respected.
382
383 ** Wget's internal tables now use hash tables instead of linked lists
384 where appropriate. This results in huge speedups when retrieving
385 large sites (thousands of documents).
386
387 ** Wget now has a man page, automatically generated from the Texinfo
388 documentation. (The last version that shipped with a man page was
389 1.4.5). To get this, you need to have pod2man from the Perl
390 distribution installed on your system.
391
392 * Changes in Wget 1.6
393
394 ** Administrative changes.
395
396 *** Maintainership. Due to Hrvoje being plagued with a "real job",
397 Dan Harkless is the most active maintainer (not that he doesn't have a
398 real job as well). Hrvoje still participates occasionally, and both
399 are being helped by many other people.
400
401 *** Web page. Thanks to Jan Prikryl, Wget has an "official" web page.
402 Take a look at:
403
404 http://sunsite.dk/wget/
405
406 *** Anonymous CVS. Thanks to ever-helpful Karsten Thygesen, Wget
407 sources are now available at an anonymous CVS server. Take a look at
408 the web page for downloading instructions.
409
410 ** New -K / --backup-converted / backup_converted = on option causes files
411 modified due to -k to be saved with a .orig prefix before being changed. When
412 using -N as well, it is these .orig files that are compared against the server.
413
414 ** New --follow-tags / follow_tags = ... option allows you to restrict
415 Wget to following only certain HTML tags when doing a recursive
416 retrieval. -G / --ignore-tags / ignore_tags = ... is just the
417 opposite -- all tags but the ones you specify will be followed.
418
419 ** New --waitretry / waitretry = SECONDS option allows waiting between retries
420 of failed downloads. Wget will use "linear" backoff, waiting 1 second after the
421 first failure, 2 after the second, up to SECONDS. waitretry is set to 10 by
422 default in the system wgetrc.
423
424 ** New -p / --page-requisites / page_requisites = on option causes
425 Wget to download all ancillary files necessary to display a given HTML
426 page properly (e.g. inlined images).
427
428 ** New -E / --html-extension / html_extension = on option causes Wget
429 to append ".html" to text/html filenames not ending in regexp
430 "\.[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]?".
431
432 ** New type of .wgetrc command -- "lockable Boolean". Can be set to on, off,
433 always, or never. This allows the .wgetrc to override the commandline. So far,
434 passive_ftp is the only .wgetrc command which takes a lockable Boolean.
435
436 ** A number of new translation files have been added.
437
438 ** New --bind-address / bind_address = <address> option for people on hosts
439 bound to multiple IP addresses.
440
441 ** wget now accepts (illegal per HTTP spec) relative URLs in HTTP redirects.
442
443 * Wget 1.5.3 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
444
445 * Wget 1.5.2 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
446
447 * Wget 1.5.1 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
448
449 * Changes in Wget 1.5.0
450
451 ** Wget speaks many languages!
452
453 On systems with gettext(), Wget will output messages in the language
454 set by the current locale, if available. At this time we support
455 Czech, German, Croatian, Italian, Norwegian and Portuguese.
456
457 ** Opie (Skey) is now supported with FTP.
458
459 ** HTTP Digest Access Authentication (RFC2069) is now supported.
460
461 ** The new `-b' option makes Wget go to background automatically.
462
463 ** The `-I' and `-X' options now accept wildcard arguments.
464
465 ** The `-w' option now accepts suffixes `s' for seconds, `m' for
466 minutes, `h' for hours, `d' for days and `w' for weeks.
467
468 ** Upon getting SIGHUP, the whole previous log is now copied to
469 `wget-log'.
470
471 ** Wget now understands proxy settings with explicit usernames and
472 passwords, e.g. `http://user:password@proxy.foo.com/'.
473
474 ** You can use the new `--cut-dirs' option to make Wget create less
475 directories.
476
477 ** The `;type=a' appendix to FTP URLs is now recognized. For
478 instance, the following command will retrieve the welcoming message in
479 ASCII type transfer:
480
481 wget "ftp://ftp.somewhere.com/welcome.msg;type=a"
482
483 ** `--help' and `--version' options have been redone to to conform to
484 standards set by other GNU utilities.
485
486 ** Wget should now be compilable under MS Windows environment. MS
487 Visual C++ and Watcom C have been used successfully.
488
489 ** If the file length is known, percentages are displayed during
490 download.
491
492 ** The manual page, now hopelessly out of date, is no longer
493 distributed with Wget.
494
495 * Wget 1.4.5 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
496
497 * Wget 1.4.4 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
498
499 * Changes in Wget 1.4.3
500
501 ** Wget is now a GNU utility.
502
503 ** Can do passive FTP.
504
505 ** Reads .netrc.
506
507 ** Info documentation expanded.
508
509 ** Compiles on pre-ANSI compilers.
510
511 ** Global wgetrc now goes to /usr/local/etc (i.e. $sysconfdir).
512
513 ** Lots of bugfixes.
514
515 * Changes in Wget 1.4.2
516
517 ** New mirror site at ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/infosystems/wget/,
518 thanks to Karsten Thygesen.
519
520 ** Mailing list! Mail to wget-request@sunsite.auc.dk to subscribe.
521

529 ** --convert-links should work now.
530
531 ** Minor bugfixes.
532
533 * Changes in Wget 1.4.1
534
535 ** Minor bugfixes.
536
537 ** Added -I (the opposite of -X).
538
539 ** Dot tracing is now customizable; try wget --dot-style=binary
540
541 * Changes in Wget 1.4.0
542
543 ** Wget 1.4.0 [formerly known as Geturl] is an extensive rewrite of
544 Geturl. Although many things look suspiciously similar, most of the
545 stuff was rewritten, like recursive retrieval, HTTP, FTP and mostly
546 everything else. Wget should be now easier to debug, maintain and,
547 most importantly, use.
548
549 ** Recursive HTTP should now work without glitches, even with Location
550 changes, server-generated directory listings and other naughty stuff.
551
552 ** HTTP regetting is supported on servers that support Range
553 specification. WWW authorization is supported -- try
554 wget http://user:password@hostname/
555
556 ** FTP support was rewritten and widely enhanced. Globbing should now
557 work flawlessly. Symbolic links are created locally. All the
558 information the Unix-style ls listing can give is now recognized.
559
560 ** Recursive FTP is supported, e.g.
561 wget -r ftp://gnjilux.cc.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/
562
563 ** You can specify "rejected" directories, to which you do not want to
564 enter, e.g. with wget -X /pub
565
566 ** Time-stamping is supported, with both HTTP and FTP. Try wget -N URL.
567
568 ** A new texinfo reference manual is provided. It can be read with
569 Emacs, standalone info, or converted to HTML, dvi or postscript.
570
571 ** Fixed a long-standing bug, so that Wget now works over SLIP
572 connections.
573
574 ** You can have a system-wide wgetrc (/usr/local/lib/wgetrc by
575 default). Settings in $HOME/.wgetrc override the global ones, of
576 course :-)
577
578 ** You can set up quota in .wgetrc to prevent sucking too much
579 data. Try `quota = 5M' in .wgetrc (or quota = 100K if you want your
580 sysadmin to like you).
581
582 ** Download rate is printed after retrieval.
583
584 ** Wget now sends the `Referer' header when retrieving
585 recursively.
586
587 ** With the new --no-parent option Wget can retrieve FTP recursively
588 through a proxy server.
589
590 ** HTML parser, as well as the whole of Wget was rewritten to be much
591 faster and less memory-consuming (yes, both).
592
593 ** Absolute links can be converted to relative links locally. Check
594 wget -k.
595
596 ** Wget catches hangup, filtering the output to a log file and
597 resuming work. Try kill -HUP %?wget.
598
599 ** User-defined headers can be sent. Try
600
601 wget http://fly.cc.her.hr/ --header='Accept-Charset: iso-8859-2'
602
603 ** Acceptance/Rejection lists may contain wildcards.
604
605 ** Wget can display HTTP headers and/or FTP server response with the
606 new `-S' option. It can save the original HTTP headers with `-s'.
607
608 ** socks library is now supported (thanks to Antonio Rosella
609 <Antonio.Rosella@agip.it>). Configure with --with-socks.
610
611 ** There is a nicer display of REST-ed output.
612
613 ** Many new options (like -x to force directory hierarchy, or -m to
614 turn on mirroring options).
615
616 ** Wget is now distributed under GNU General Public License (GPL).
617
618 ** Lots of small features I can't remember. :-)
619
620 ** A host of bugfixes.
621
622 * Changes in Geturl 1.3
623
624 ** Added FTP globbing support (ftp://fly.cc.fer.hr/*)
625
626 ** Added support for no_proxy
627
628 ** Added support for ftp://user:password@host/
629
630 ** Added support for %xx in URL syntax
631
632 ** More natural command-line options
633
634 ** Added -e switch to execute .geturlrc commands from the command-line
635
636 ** Added support for robots.txt
637
638 ** Fixed some minor bugs
639
640 * Geturl 1.2 is a bugfix release with no user-visible changes.
641
642 * Changes in Geturl 1.1
643
644 ** REST supported in FTP
645
646 ** Proxy servers supported
647
648 ** GNU getopt used, which enables command-line arguments to be ordered
649 as you wish, e.g. geturl http://fly.cc.fer.hr/ -vo log is the same as
650 geturl -vo log http://fly.cc.fer.hr/
651
652 ** Netscape-compatible URL syntax for HTTP supported: host[:port]/dir/file
653
654 ** NcFTP-compatible colon URL syntax for FTP supported: host:/dir/file
655
656 ** <base href="xxx"> supported
657
658 ** autoconf supported
