[BusyBox] wget: error msg with Meteor ftp server

[Jörg Albert]

Hi all,

I use to get the error msg
	fgets(): Illegal seek
at the end of an otherwise successfull "wget ftp://..." call
when connecting to a Meteor 1.5 ftp server under Windows while
a connect to vsftpd under RedHat9 is fine.

The error comes from fgets() in ftpcmd(), which waits for an answer for each
command sent.

A sniffer revealed that Meteor does not answer to the final QUIT
but simply closes its socket (which is the behaviour described in RFC959,
chapter 7), while vsftpd says "Goodbye."

A possible workaround (for wget.c, 1.61, not tested with with this version!)
could be:

--- wget_bb_cvs_1.61.c.orig	2003-11-12 08:59:56.000000000 +0100
+++ wget_bb_cvs_1.61.c	2003-11-12 09:02:08.000000000 +0100

 	do {
 		p = fgets(buf, 510, fp);
-		if (!p)

+			    strcpy(buf, "221 Goodbye (faked).");
+		}
 	} while (! isdigit(buf[0]) || buf[3] != ' ');
 	
 	return atoi(buf);

althrough I'm not really happy with this hack. The "big" wget, version 1.9,
doesn't send QUIT, but simply closes it's socket...

Any other ideas?
