Re: [Bug-wget] wget file name too long error

[Yiwei Yang]

Thanks,Darshit. The problem I can't use shortener is because I have a list
of URLs and I feed it into a C program which parses the list and call
wget... on each of them. Is there  way to make this shortener process
automated in my c program? Thanks!
