That's good. A simple 'LIST' is enough - we don't need . and ..
The same with ftp.debian.org
ftp.microsoft.com has a different output format, but makes no difference
between
LIST and LIST -a
ftp.redhat.com: LIST without -a supresses 'hidden' (dot) files.
I think that is why '-a' is used first by Wget - to also get the hidden files.
A patch that does not introduce a new option should:
- add a comment why LIST -a is tried before LIST
- if LIST -a returns an empty listing, Wget should fallback to LIST
Andrea, can you do it ?
