Subject: Problems with URL containing ":" on Windows
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 12:32:26 -0300
To: bug-file-fetch [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Adriano Gaved <agaved [...] gmail.com>
Hi trying to download a page like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Varicelle_enfant.jpg on Windows, File::Fetch tries to save a file named 'File:Varicelle_enfant.jpg' and fails (I guess it's because of the ':' ). Running on Perl 5.16.3, built for MSWun32-x86-multi-thread. ActiveState binary build 1603, built Mar 13 2013. I couldn't find a workaround to set an alternative name. Best Adriano -- Everything is possible, for people that don't know what is talking about.
