Re: wput

[Hagen Fritsch <hagen@itooktheredpill.dyndns.org>]

Hi,
input file means, that wput tries to read the urls from the specified input 
file or in your case from stdin, but if stdin is binary data, we'll that 
cannot work. As described in manpage the only way to pipe data to wput is to 
use the input-pipe option which can also be something like cat - so that wput 
will read the data from stdin.

Regards,
Hagen
