Re: [Bug-wget] Calling wget programmatically from C/C++ code,

[Chitra Nanda]

Hi all,

I was using curl. I had some issues with 64 bit version of the curl library.
So I was looking for
alternatives. That is when I chanced upon wget and thought of using it.

I could see that with the latest version of the curl library my issue has
got resolved.

My requirement was very simple to download a file from another machine using
http/such similar
application layer protocol.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Regards,
Chitra
