Someone needs to beat you guys with a cluestick.  PHP is used on servers, lots of which are used headless and without X.  You REALLY should have a real url to click and copy, for wget users.  You make a great system, don't piss off your users by making us download it to the local machine then copy onto the server, just because your too lazy to use a real url!

Example:

http://www.php.net/get/php-4.3.1.tar.bz2/from/fi.php.net/mirror

(you could have found out this yourself too..:)

Wget, fetch, ftp curl, etcetera.
That doesn't work from those.
My point is you should be able to get the source from a headless x-less browserless box.

What is the problem with this URL in "Wget, fetch, ftp curl, etcetera."? It should work!
 [2003-03-16 11:06 UTC] sniper@php.net
Heh, try first before saying it doesn't work.

 [2003-03-16 14:17 UTC] kyleaschmitt at yahoo dot com
No, try before saying it does work. 
Now, not to be a little snippent, but that was the first thing I tried. 
Obviously if i copied the url and handed it  to wget, and it had 
worked, I woudlnt' have submitted the bug report.  That url 
doesn't work from wget, or anything else I tried, except a full 
blown web browser.\ 
Of Course I tried it first, so before going off and calling me lazy, 
or saying I could have found it myself, or to try before saying it 
doesn't work, try it yourself :) 
I'm not complaining to complain, I'm complaining to help.

(note, see replies that don't assume the person asking the 
question is an idiot tend to get a more polite reponse) 
 
goba: wget connects, hangs, times outs, then repeats until it 
exits.  Connectivity is fine from that box, or at least I assume so, 
since I can ssh from it, and wget is how I got the apache source 
to it.

Please stop wasting our time.  There is nothing wrong with the URLs and you are the one who needs the clustick treatment if you think that somehow a browser downloads differently from wget or curl.  Watch:
