RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

wget is returning a 0 return code when calling wget with a url containing no scheme

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

GNU Wget 1.12 

How reproducible:
reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wget /foo/bar
2. echo $?

Actual results:
0

Expected results:
1

Additional info:
Fixed in later versions of wget

I looked into the code of this old version of Wget and I compared it with latest version, so I found out where the problem is. Global variable final_exit_status from file exits.c has still value of WGET_EXIT_SUCCESS, because at file main.c there is not any call of function inform_exit_status, which changes value of this variable according of error code. So proposed patch is to insert function call:

inform_exit_status(URLERROR);

on the line 1273 at main.c and to delete command:

status = URLERROR;
