Re: [Bug-wget] wget from two Linux systems

[Sankaran, Logan (Strategic Solutions Architecture (SSA))]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the suggestion and you are right.  It appears that this is due to 
setting and not setting proxy server.  With right proxy server setting in 
'.wgetrc', wget works as expected.
Regards,
Logan

Please use option -d to display the HTTP headers.
Guessing: Maybe one system uses a proxy ? Or there might be marginal 
differences in the HTTP request headers.

You might also look into the HTML file, maybe you find something that might 
help you.

Wget 1.18 here downloads correctly the gzipped archive.
