Re: [Bug-wget] Retry on host error

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi Elliot,

thanks for your contribution.

I'll care for the integration / merge tomorrow.

We maintainers decided to accept your work without the FSF Copyright
Assignment from you (will be tagged as Copyright-paperwork-exempt).

Let us know if you plan to work on more and we'll send you the FSF
Assignment. It is not much work from your side.

Regards, Tim
