Hello,
this is a forwarded wishlist request:
http://bugs.debian.org/338326
--8<--
When using wget in non-verbose mode, it prints out each file transferred:
$ wget -nv <someurl>
14:35:19 URL:<someurl> [2838/2838] -> "<localfilename>" [1]
When using spider mode I expect to get a similar output, because I want to
see which files are still available and which aren't. However:
$ wget --spider -nv <someurl>
200 OK
The filename is missing. The problem is that spider mode is used especially
when a large number of files is checked, and it would be really helpful to
know which urls triggered which (successful) server response.
So I would expect something like that:
$ wget -nv <someurl>
14:35:19 URL:<someurl> 200 OK
--8<--
IMHO in the last commandline --spider is missing.
The output of --spider -nv changed from 1.10 to 1.11:
1.10:
$ wget --spider -nv <someurl>
200 OK
$
1.11:
$ wget --spider -nv <someurl>
$
I don't know if you want to change it back to give some output.
thx.
