A new release of wget, 1.13.4-1, is available for download, leaving
1.12-1 as previous.
NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release, with news highlights included below, and
including the fix for CVE-2010-2252. See also the package documentation
in /usr/share/doc/wget/.
DESCRIPTION:
============
GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP,
HTTPS, or FTP protocols. Wget features include the ability to work in
the background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of
directories, file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp storage
and comparison, use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with HTTP servers
to retrieve files over slow or unstable connections, support for Proxy
servers, and configurability.
UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'wget'
from the 'Web' category.

* Changes in Wget 1.13.4
** Now --version and --help work again.
** Fix a build error on solaris 10 sparc.
** Now --timestamping and --continue work well together.
** Return a network failure when FTP downloads fail and --timestamping
is specified.
* Changes in Wget 1.13.3
** Support HTTP/1.1
** Now by default the GNU TLS library for secure connections, instead of
OpenSSL.
** Fix some portability issues.
** Handle properly malformed status line in a HTTP response.
** Ignore zero length domains in $no_proxy.
** Set new cookies after an authorization failure.
** Exit with failure if -k is specified and -O is not a regular file.
** Cope better with unclosed html tags.
** Print diagnostic messages to stderr, not stdout.
** Do not use an additional HEAD request when --content-disposition is used,
but use directly GET.
** Report the average transfer speed correctly when multiple URL's are specified
and -c influences the transferred data amount.
** GNU TLS backend works again.
** Now --timestamping and --continue works well together.
** By default, on server redirects, use the original URL to get the
local file name. Close CVE-2010-2252. This introduces a
backward-incompatibility; any script that relies on the old
behaviour must use --trust-server-names.
** Fix a problem when -k is used and some URLs are specified trough
CSS.
** Convert correctly URLs that need to be encoded to local files when following
links.
** Use persistent connections with proxies supporting them.
** Print the total download time as part of the summary for recursive downloads.
** Now it is possible to specify a different startup configuration file trough
the --config option.
** Fix an infinite loop with the error '<filename> has sprung into existence'
on a network error and -nc is used.
** Now --adjust-extension does not modify the file extension if the file ends
in .htm.
** Support HTTP/1.1 307 redirects keep request method.
** Now --no-parent doesn't fetch undesired files if HTTP and HTTPS are used
by the same host on different pages.
** Do not attempt to remove the file if it is not in the accept rules but
it is the output destination file.
** Introduce `show_all_dns_entries' to print all IP addresses corresponding to
a DNS name when it is resolved.
