wget -c --http-user=XXXXXX --http-password=XXXXXXXXX http://rapidshare.com/files/XXXXX/YYYY.ZZZ doesn't work correctly (i can't fetch file). On version 1.10.2 it's posiible (python urlib2) also provides good methods for this task, so it must be broken in wget. Currently I don't have any stack trace because i've downgraded wget. But wget has written some debug stuff to out file. Probably also loading cookies in 1.11 wget is broken also (must be checked). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Find file at rapidshare (or other host using http basic auth) 2.Enter login and pass 3.checkout the output file (should be trace) Actual Results: The file won't be dowloaded Expected Results: File shoulde be dowloaded, and user should be logged
Not sure if this helps, but --user/password auth works fine with 1.11.1 (just released, not yet in portage). I tested it against my locally protected apache and it authenticates just fine.
1.11.1 in the tree then
