Hi. Thanks for new version. What's the main difference with this version

https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/

What are the main difference (plus/minus)? Why so small size of your package (about 0.5MB) then other package (5.1 MB)?

lifenjoiner commented 5 months ago

The "About" section has described the main differences from the origin. While others I don't know much. But at least they rely on OpenSSL.

Version from eternallybored is still 1.21.4, check version info:

>wget -V GNU Wget 1.21.4 built on mingw32.

+cares +digest +gpgme +https +ipv6 +iri +large-file +metalink -nls +ntlm +opie +psl +ssl/openssl

It has libraries, such as the OpenSSl ones, statically linked meaning they are internally included, hence the larger size.

Instead, version from here by @lifenjoiner:

>wget -V GNU Wget 1.24.5.179-83965 built on mingw32.

-cares +digest -gpgme +https +iconv +ipv6 +iri +large-file -metalink -nls +ntlm +opie -psl +ssl/wintls

Compared to the other version this relies on OS libraries, but apparently is also compiled without support of some libraries. Note that due to this some of the wget options do not work!
