I haven't read any replies to this, but my conscience is killing me. I'm=20 sorry for the tone I used above, especially to Des. I am quite frustrated= =20 with some of the attitudes displayed in the thread to the original submitte= r=20 who is just trying to make FreeBSD better to get useful work done, but=20 blowing up is not the right way to handle that. Martin, if you are unable to make any headway getting your patch to fetch=20 integrated, and/or having anyone else come up with a better implementation = of=20 the feature you need, there are several other programs like curl or wget th= at=20 you can use instead. Given that Mozilla already does what you want it seem= s=20 likely that at least one open-source command-line URL fetcher will be willi= ng=20 to accept patches to implement the feature you need for your scripts. =2D-=20 John Baldwin =A0<>< =A0http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" =A0=3D =A0http://www.FreeBSD.org
