Re: [Bug-wget] regarding wget project

Hi Berachia,

Welcome to the world of open source!
We're glad that you're interested in contributing to GNU Wget. To
start off, please ensure that you have a local clone of the Git
Repository of our source and are able to build it. In case of errors,
please ensure that you have all the relevant development libraries
installed. The README.checkout file lists everything you'll need.

You don't need to "join" the project per se. GNU Wget is purely
volunteer effort. Get the code, get hacking and submit patches once
you're done. Giuseppe Scrivano is the maintainer of GNU Wget and is
the one who can merge your code in to the mainline.

To get started, you can try and fix the following:
The Content-Length Header is expected by the server in many requests,
most prominently in a POST Request. However, currently if a POST
request is sent without any body, Wget does not send any
Content-Length headers. Some servers seem to dislike this behaviour
and respond with a 411 Length Required message.
Patch Wget to always send a Content-Length header when the Request Type is POST.
