4.194. wget

Previously, the wget utility failed with the "Connection timed out" message when running the utility to get data from Microsoft Windows Server 2003 that had returned an error for the "PORT" request. This was because wget did not correctly handle the error in the accept_connection() function and therefore did not attempt to retry upon the connection timeout. The underlying source code has been modified to ensure that wget retries the connection in the described scenario.

The wget utility did not previously work as intended with the "-T, --timeout" option set. As a consequence, if the HTTPS server accepted a wget session but did not respond to the SSL handshake, the timeout could not take effect and Wget did not terminate the session after a given time. With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to ensure that Wget aborts the connection in this scenario.
