-t, --tries=NUMBER set number of retries to NUMBER (0 unlimits). -S, --server-response print server response. -N, --timestamping don't re-retrieve files unless newer than local. -nc, --no-clobber skip downloads that would download to existing files (overwriting them). --header=STRING insert STRING among the headers. --max-redirect maximum redirections allowed per page. Without the "-t" switch sometimes wget loops indefinitely (not good for scripts).
forgot these: --post-data=STRING use the POST method; send STRING as the data. --post-file=FILE use the POST method; send contents of FILE. --body-data=STRING Send STRING as data. --method MUST be set. --body-file=FILE Send contents of FILE. --method MUST be set.
For busybox, bugzilla isn't working well as a feature request database. Because I can easily add gazillion of such requests, per every unimplemented option of every applet. There are more than 300 applets, so, easily about a thousand of RFEs. I'm inclined to work more on fixing bugs. Features, maybe wait for a patch as a sign that it is REALLY important to someone? And btw, --header is implemented.
Would appreciate the implementation of "method" and "body-file" options.
--method=METHOD is also desperately needed as this would allow busybox to issue the necessary PUT request to connect to the AWS instance metadata service v2 endpoint
