WGET, The well known program for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, has been updated - This is a second revision for the 1.12 release including the following changes:
* src/connect.c: Fixed connect_to_ip() function to report correct message on failed connections.
* src/utils.c: Changed the following functions to do things on an amiga-only way using dos.library equivalents: suffix(), determine_screen_width(), xsleep(), make_directory(), file_exists_p()
* src/host.c: Reworked gethostbyname_with_timeout() to directly handle our TCP/IP Stack's gethostbyname() disabling C linklib SIGINT signal in the meanwhile and using Exec's way...
* src/openssl.c: Changed close() by CloseSocket()..
* src/log.c: avoid fclose() over stderr
* OS3 Build Compiled using OpenSSL 1.0.0a (Rev#2)
* Fixed CTRL+C handling under OS4 - Thanks to Corto for the fix!
