I'm trying to upgrade my copy of wget
on the server. Currently its running:
1.17.1-1ubuntu1.4
The problem is that I need 1.19 so I can get a new feature:
http://tomszilagyi.github.io/2017/02/Wget-retry-on-http-error
My patch has been part of the changes released as Wget version 1.19.1, so now (if you run that version or newer) you can just write something like:
wget --retry-on-http-error=503 ...
We are having issues with a website giving 502 errors back when trying to request the images from them. Their tech guys are looking into it, but for the mean time I need a way to auto-retry the 502 files. This seems to fit the bill, but I can't seem to get it to upgrade.
apt-get update
apt-get install wget
...gives:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
wget is already the newest version (1.17.1-1ubuntu1.4).
I'm not sure what else to try?
