Redhat Release Bugfix: CentOS RPM Updates Still Behind
by J. Miller on Sep.21, 2009, under Internet, Linux, OpenSource, Operating Systems, Software, Web Hosting
Recently RedHat pushed out a pretty major bugfix advisory for wget which addresses the following issues:
286161 – “wget –recursive” only retrieves index.html instead of all files
436822 – wget ignores ‘-P’ when Content-Disposition set on server
459679 – wget –mirror failing to retrieve files on FTP site
492672 – –no-content-disposition option aborts wget
Unfortunately at the time I’m writing this the v1.11.4 of wget has not been pushed out to any of the CentOS repositories. See below for links to the RHEL rpm’s.
**You can install the latest version using RHEL rpm’s below, which will work fine with any CentOS v5 distributions.
(i386)
wget http://www.elders.princeton.edu/data/PU_IAS/5/en/os/i386/Client/wget-1.11.4-2.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -e wget
rpm -Uvh wget-1.11.4-2.el5.i386.rpm(x86_64)
wget http://www.elders.princeton.edu/data/PU_IAS/5/en/os/x86_64/Client/wget-1.11.4-2.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -e wget
rpm -Uvh wget-1.11.4-2.el5.x86_64.rpm
**Note: VPS Servers May throw the following error…
[~]# rpm -Uvh wget-1.11.4-2.el5.i386.rpm

Forgive me but you know I just can’t resist – with a couple of minor tweaks to your source code the page could be W3C valid . . .

Most likely, you nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example … is not acceptable, as must be closed before . Acceptable nesting is: …
