Package: wget Version: 1.13.4-3 Severity: normal Hi all,
wget's manpage says: > -O file > --output-document=file > ... > Use of -O is not intended to mean simply "use the name file instead > of the one in the URL;" rather, it is > analogous to shell redirection: wget -O file http://foo is intended > to work like wget -O - http://foo > > file; file will be truncated immediately, and all downloaded > content will be written there. > > For this reason, -N (for timestamp-checking) is not supported in > combination with -O: since file is always > newly created, it will always have a very new timestamp. A warning > will be issued if this combination is > used. but: > $ date > Do 13. Jun 17:12:06 CEST 2013 > $ wget http://www.debian.org > ... > $ wget -O test1 http://www.debian.org > ... > $ wget -O - http://www.debian.org > test2 > ... > $ ls -l index.html test1 test2 > -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 14649 Jun 11 21:58 index.html > -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 14649 Jun 11 21:58 test1 > -rw-r--r-- 1 user group 14649 Jun 13 17:12 test2 So the documentation is completely wrong here: '-O file' has the same timestamp of the last change of the web page as the naked wget and behaves clearly different from '-O - > file' here.
