Follow-up Comment #1, bug #56808 (project wget): You are right. The combination of both options doesn't make much sense. Using a POST request with --spider seems to be dangerous as it leads to unexpected data / state on the server side. So this i not an option. Silently doing a GET request is also not what someone would expect. But not allowing the combination removes some degree of user's freedom of choice. I am split. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56808> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
