Follow-up Comment #4, bug #48811 (project wget):
I have attached a patch file which solves this issue perfectly. But, other
than that, I have a minor doubt on the priority problem, which can be looked
into later.
The man page of wget itself says that --ask-password and --password are
mutually exclusive, i.e they cannot be used simultaneously.
I also ran a test case for it -
wget --user=something --password=something2 --ask-password
https://www.example.com
ERROR MESSAGE :
Cannot specify both --ask-password and --password.
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
So, IMO we don't really have to worry about the priority between
opt.http_passwd and opt.passwd? Is there any other reason why you think this
should be done?
And, that too for user, it is always command line argument ( there is no
prompt for user as of I know ), so even in that, any order can be given. And,
to my surprise it actually doesn't throw an error for giving both --user and
--http-user arguments?!
wget --http-user=something2 --http-password=something3 --ask-password
www.example.com
I think here, --http-password should get priority ( although these cases
should throw an error? I could raise another issue? ).
wget --user=something --http-password=something3 --ask-password
www.example.com
I think here, --ask-password gets priority
So, shouldn't the password priority depend on what kind of username we get? (
whether it is general username --user or http username --http-user? )
Or is --ask-password only associated with --user, and NOT with --http-user or
--ftp-user?
To resolve unnecessary complications, like we discussed before, I have given
higher priority to opt.passwd when opt.ask_passwd is set.
Thank you,
Vijeth
