[Bug-wget] Fwd: Windows: Unusual behavior with encoded text in URL's in batch files

[Brent Newland]

Please disregard. It was as simple as needing to use double percentage
signs in the URL in the batch file.

Command being used: wget
https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Win%2F369898%2Fchrome-win32.zip?alt=media
-O "%temp%\chromium.zip" --no-check-certificate

I'm using the latest wget from https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ 1.17.1
win32

When I type that command in the command prompt (Windows 7 64-bit SP1), I
get:

And when I put the same command in a batch file, I get:

Running it manually results in it first changing the "%2F" to "/", causing
a 404, then trying the URL as I gave it. When in a batch file, it also
changes "%2F" to "/", but gives up and doesn't try the URL as I gave it.

Any advice here, or is this a bug? Seems the batch file behavior should
match the regular download behavior.
