Re: [Bug-wget] Early stop using wget with POST form data

[Tim Ruehsen]

Hi Quirin,

since I can reproduce the issue with Firefox (HTML page incomplete) even with 
e.g. www.google.com, something with your environment seems different.

Same problem with Chromium 18.0.1025.168 (Developer Build 134367 Linux) Debian 
wheezy/sid.

Same with Mozilla, Opera and Konqueror.

The only command that works is ping.

Regards, Tim
