How can I force wget.exe to talk HTTP/1.1?

I'm talking about Windows, not Linux.

I tried:

wget -O X:/test/some/dir/file.txt --tries=3 -c http://some.com/dir/data.txt
wget -O X:/test/some/dir/file.txt --tries=3 http://some.com/dir/data.txt
wget -O "X:/test/some/dir/file.txt" --tries=3 http://some.com/dir/data.txt

Result: Wget is talking "GET /dir/data.txt HTTP/1.0". Not HTTP/1.1. I want to force wget to use HTTP/1.1. How can I do this?

I am using WGET 1.11.4 for Windows (because there is no other newer version on the web).

wget

have a look at --header argument for wget – phoops – 2014-03-22T13:33:56.267

@edvinas - Its a bad idea to pass an HTTP/1.1 header, if wget doesn't specifically support it. HTTP 1.1 introduces chunked encoding which is likely to result in truncated downloads when operating in HTTP 1.0 mode – carpii – 2014-03-22T17:27:14.517

Consider switching to cURL. – Spiff – 2014-03-22T21:41:39.147
