The explanation at 4:28 might be interpreted as, "if https fails, fallback to http and don't encrypt the traffic" but it means that if the certificate validation fails (in case the certificate presented by the server is not signed by a trusted certificate authority, e.g., when using a self-signed certificate), still do the TLS handshake and encrypt the traffic.

Like these videos a lot! I’ve been very impressed with the quality of your videos and surprised as to how new your channel is.

maybe curl or rsync next?

One of the best short and sweet series I have watched about Linux

[AntiCheap]

I started reconsidering wget when I found out it could download entire folders from web indexed files, I think it's amazing

For once haven't learned anything new, but that's mostly because I already use wget too much, heh… But it is a great video! I'm surprised you didn't mention the different level of verbose wget has - I particularily like -nv / --non-vebrose when downloading lots of things, it is quieter than default but still leaves in essential information.






GNU

I would like a deep dive into compositor and windows managers, how to have more than one installed at the same time ect....
Thank a lot for your content

--no-check-certificate on wget implies that you're ignoring an SSL/TLS certificate that isn't valid or has expired, rather than using HTTP connections that will likely upgrade back to HTTPS and fail out on connect again due to untrusted certificates

Please tell me I'm not the only one to pronounce wget as "wooget"

[Lampe]

By the way, is Wget a part of the _GNU_ coreutils?

I just tried to scrape my own website and it failed completely as soon as it hit the page on which I have a "Reload" button that's just a link with an empty URL, as that prompt the browser to go to the same page again. Wget said "Cannot resolve URL ''" and segfaulted.
