[Bug-wget] wget -T 0 option re-issues the request in 1 hour

[Abhishek Saxena]

Hi

 

I am using the wget for https request submitted to my application for a service through a shell script running on linux server. The request may take more than an hour depending on the load. "wget" waits for the reply to mark the request as complete. I am using -T 0 option to disable the timeout. But the request is re-issued by wget after one hour. This causes the problem of contention for the application.

 

I am using the below options:

wget -T 0 --http-user=$user --http-passwd=$pwd --no-check-certificate --retry-connrefused -o `echo $GetReportLog`_$CurrTime.log -O $OutGoingDir/out_rtn_$CurrTime.txt "https://$Baseurl/"

 

wget -V
GNU Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified)
 

Is there something that I am doing wrong or is it a bug in wget? If it is a bug then is there any patch/fix available for it?

 

Thanks,

Abhishek
