URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47533> Summary: [RFE] consolidate metalink options Project: GNU Wget Submitted by: None Submitted on: Fri 25 Mar 2016 03:42:18 PM UTC Category: Feature Request Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Dusty Mabe Originator Email: address@hidden Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: None Operating System: None Reproducibility: None Fixed Release: None Planned Release: None Regression: None Work Required: None Patch Included: None _______________________________________________________ Details: With [1] we would possibly have three options for metalink downloads: --metalink - for urls that link to a metalink xml file --input-metalink - for local metalink files on local disk --metalink-over-http - for urls that have metalink information in http headers I believe we could combine these all in to one option; --metalink. Assuming wget --metalink $url is provided: If provided --metalink file:///path/to/file; then process metalink xml file and download target else if http headers received from $url; then process http header metalink information and download target else if target is xml metalink from $url process metalink xml file and download target else (the $url does not reference a metalink) fallback to normal http download of target We could deprecate the --input-metalink and --metalink-over-http options and phase them out over time. Is this reasonable?
