Description of problem: When using continued download with timestamping enabled (e.g. -cN options to wget), wget will use "Range" header with HEAD method, while it really should not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wget-1.9.1-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. wget http://www.redhat.com/ 2. Run some sniffer (e.g. Ethereal) 3. wget -cN http://www.redhat.com/ Actual results: HEAD with "Range" header set. Expected results: HEAD without "Range", then GET with "Range" if needed. Additional info: Not all HTTP servers out there support HEAD with "Range" resulting in failed continued download if you do it manually later. wget would complain that it's refusing to truncate existing file, while if it was automatically retried download, it would succeed.
