Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69292&edit=1 ID: 69292 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: scott at perturb dot org Summary: Download links are not wget compatible Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: All PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: In my opinion that is not a bug, but rather something that might be improved, if at all -- what's wrong with something like: FILE=php-5.3.29.tar.bz2;\ wget http://br1.php.net/get/$FILE/from/this/mirror;\ mv mirror $FILE Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-03-24 20:33:53] scott at perturb dot org Description: ------------ I download the PHP release .tar.bz2 files from the php.net all the time to do testing. 99% of the time I navigate to the download page on my local machine, and copy and paste the URL in to a terminal on the server I want to compile on. The download URLs look like this: http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror which I then feed to wget: $ wget http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror --2015-03-24 08:58:06-- http://br1.php.net/get/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror Resolving br1.php.net (br1.php.net)... 187.73.33.52 ** [snipped] ** HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 11396771 (11M) [application/octet-stream] Saving to: ‘mirror’ mirror 100%[========================>] 10.87M 1.22MB/s in 11s 2015-03-24 08:58:17 (1006 KB/s) - ‘mirror’ saved [11396771/11396771] Note that the file that gets written to disk is "mirror" and not php-5.3.29.tar.bz2. It's a minor annoyance, but it seems really easily fixed. Test script: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- When I wget a URL from a server, it should have the right file name. Actual result: -------------- Wget uses the part of the URL after the last "/" as the output filename. Arguably this is a bug in Wget, but it's also something we can easily work around on the php-web side. Someone already thought of this, because there is mention of wget style download links in the code: https://github.com/php/web-php/blob/master/error.php#L136 If we remap the filename in the download URL to be at the END, it should solve this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69292&edit=1
