Package: wget Version: 1.21.3-1+b2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.w...@sideload.33mail.com
Apparently when a URL refers to a directory that redirects to a file, wget gives up instantly without checking the redirect header. This is a sample broken session: ===8<------------------------------ $ wget 'https://consumer.georgia.gov/document/document/consumer-complaint-form-english/download' --[timestamp]-- https://consumer.georgia.gov/document/document/consumer-complaint-form-english/download Resolving consumer.georgia.gov (consumer.georgia.gov)... 104.18.74.48 Connecting to consumer.georgia.gov (consumer.georgia.gov)|104.18.74.48|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 183944 (180K) [application/pdf] download: Is a directory ===8<------------------------------ ** workaround ** The workaround is basically to use anything other than wget. Firefox works but FF suggests the wrong filename. Aria2c works flawlessly and sets the correct filename. This is what the aria2c session looks like: ===8<------------------------------ $ aria2c 'https://consumer.georgia.gov/document/document/consumer-complaint-form-english/download' [timestamp] [NOTICE] Downloading 1 item(s) [#6234b1 0B/0B CN:1 DL:0B] [timestamp] [NOTICE] Download complete: $PWD/Consumer Complaint Form - 2024-09-30.pdf Download Results: gid |stat|avg speed |path/URI ======+====+===========+======================================================= 6234b1|OK | 459KiB/s|$PWD/Consumer Complaint Form - 2024-09-30.pdf Status Legend: (OK):download completed. ===8<------------------------------ -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (990, 'stable-updates'), (990, 'stable-security'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-28-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages wget depends on: ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u8 ii libgnutls30 3.7.9-2+deb12u3 ii libidn2-0 2.3.3-1+b1 ii libnettle8 3.8.1-2 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.42-1 ii libpsl5 0.21.2-1 ii libuuid1 2.38.1-5+deb12u1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.13.dfsg-1 Versions of packages wget recommends: ii ca-certificates 20230311 wget suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
