Package: wget Version: 1.12-2.1 Severity: wishlist
Wget currenly does not know what to do with news:// and snews:// URLs. Not many tools do. Perhaps only lynx can do this at the moment. But lynx will only give a rendered version of the retrieved content. wget should be able to retrieve the raw article with all headers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages wget depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.12 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-6 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze13 SSL shared libraries wget recommends no packages. wget suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
