Re: [Bug-wget] Please review my patch for bug #29518

Hi,

I have investigated using readline and it seems to be a library for reading
from the command line only. I can not for the life of me get it to read from
a file.

Is it possible that you meant GNU libc's getline() and not readline()?

Thanks
Lenni
