[Bug-wget] Want to work on wget2

[Soumik Rakshit]

   Hello. As told via gnu's gsoc mailing list, I'm posting my gsoc related
   query in this one. I am a CS undergrad studying in the final year, and
   would like to work on Wget2 as part of gsoc. Would want to get in touch
   with possible mentors and understand the codebase a bit. With that
   said, I thought I would describe my current state.

   Â

   I am decent at writing C code, but do not have much experience with
   networking. I do understand the basics though, have read the
   introductory book by Andrew Tanenbaum. I know about the bsd sockets
   api, and the basic idea of level and edge-triggered polling, etc, (but
   of course, have to brush up on these, and not sure how this would
   relate to a client application like Wget2, just throwing it out there
   :). Also, right now, I don't know the autotools build system well. and
   I do not know the innards of HTTP. As a 'proof of competency' I am
   linking to some code I maintain in my bitbucket repo

   Thanks.
