            Bug ID: 9471
           Summary: wget doesn't work on my system (http)
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Networking
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: mrs.sub at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

Hi. wget refuses to wget on my systems (ArchLinux 4.8.12 and custom 4.9-rc8)

busybox versions: 
    v1.26.0.git snapshot from site (2016-12-09 00:20)
    v1.25.1 from site              (2016-10-07 15:24)

GCC version:
    6.2.1 20160830 (from ArchLinux repositories)



After I request `wget http://localhost/` it returns

   | Connecting to localhost (127.0.0.1:80)
   | wget: error getting response



I'v tried to build it in many different ways: statically linked, dynamically
linked, 
using glibc or musl - result was always the same. At the time wget from busybox
1.25.1 
from official Arch repos works. `strace` comparison gave me a hint that the
source 
code has been changed:

strace from version that *works*:

    socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
    connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0
    ioctl(3, TIOCGWINSZ, 0x7ffcd6cf39a8)    = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl
for device)
    writev(3, [{iov_base="GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r"..., iov_len=72},
{iov_base=NULL, iov_len=0}], 2) = 72
    setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={900, 0}},
{it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={899, 999701}}) = 0
    readv(3, [{iov_base="", iov_len=0}, {iov_base="HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nServer:
nginx/1"..., iov_len=1024}], 2) = 497

strace from version that *doesn't work*:

    socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
    connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0
    ioctl(3, TIOCGWINSZ, 0x7fff515b5668)    = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl
for device)
    writev(3, [{iov_base="GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r"..., iov_len=72},
{iov_base=NULL, iov_len=0}], 2) = 72
  * shutdown(3, SHUT_WR)                    = 0
    setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={900, 0}},
{it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={899, 966622}}) = 0
    readv(3, [{iov_base="", iov_len=0}, {iov_base="", iov_len=1024}], 2) = 0


And then I've found this commit:
https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/networking/wget.c?id=de3da6bf87a579a344b0581c6f2ce6a40166b432 
I commented the line out, recompile busybox and get wget working. I don't
really know 
if it affects others' systems. It can be that my host is misconfigured.

A guess is that kernel closes write ability for a connection before all the
request 
is transmitted but I really don't know.
