[Bug-wget] wget alpha release 1.12-2428

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hello,

I have just uploaded a new alpha tarball containing all the recent
changes done to wget.

If no problems are found, hopefully a release can be done in the next
2-3 weeks.

These are the noteworthy changes since wget 1.12:

** Support HTTP/1.1

** Fix some portability issues.

** Handle properly malformed status line in a HTTP response.

** Ignore zero length domains in $no_proxy.

** Set new cookies after an authorization failure.

** Exit with failure if -k is specified and -O is not a regular file.

** Cope better with unclosed html tags.

** Print diagnostic messages to stderr, not stdout.

** Do not use an additional HEAD request when --content-disposition is used,
   but use directly GET.

** Report the average transfer speed correctly when multiple URL's are specified
   and -c influences the transferred data amount.

** GNU TLS backend works again.

** Now --timestamping and --continue works well together.

** By default, on server redirects, use the original URL to get the
   local file name. Close CVE-2010-2252.  This introduces a
   backward-incompatibility; any script that relies on the old
   behaviour must use --trust-server-names.

** Fix a problem when -k is used and some URLs are specified trough
   CSS.

** Convert correctly URLs that need to be encoded to local files when following
   links.

** Use persistent connections with proxies supporting them.
