Re: wget2 server-response

[Tim Rühsen]

Hey Hans, thanks for reaching out.

Indeed, it looks like HTTP/1.1 response headers see a regression while 
HTTP/2 response headers are printed as expected (tested with latest 
master). This requires a fix.

Also, currently on Fedora 40, the progress bar takes preference over the 
other output. The latest master of wget2 is somewhat improved, but still 
needs more fine-tuning.

Likely, your best option is to turn the progress bar off with 
`--progress=none`.

With HTTP/2:

$ wget2 --server-response --progress=none https://example.com
[0] Downloading 'https://example.com' ...
Saving 'index.html.1'
# got header 362 bytes:
:status: 200

HTTP response 200  [https://example.com]

With HTTP/1.1 (almost all headers missing):

$ wget2 --server-response --progress=none --no-http2 https://example.com
[0] Downloading 'https://example.com' ...
Saving 'index.html.4'
# got header 381 bytes:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Encoding: gzip
HTTP response 200 OK [https://example.com]

Thanks for the report!

Regards, Tim
