Yes, I discovered that by surprise when curl succeeded in downloading http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/jessie_di_rc2/i386/iso-cd/SHA512SUMS So I've tried using curl -O -C - http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/jessie_di_rc2/i386/iso-cd/SHA512SUMS (the -C - was just an experiment to see if I can default it in a script) and this seems to indicate another failing of curl in that the output file has the wrong timestamp (ie it's <now>). Which is odd because curl's -z option would only seem to make sense if the local file has the original timestamp. 14784 Mar 27 11:45 /tmp/wget/SHA512SUMS 14784 Apr 8 17:40 /tmp/curl/SHA512SUMS Cheers, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
