πŸ’– Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::Wget β€” the whole vibe πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this page is straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation and in the terminal it goes by Alien::...ch::Wget(3) because the full name is lowkey too long for a header, but we know her πŸ’…

✨ NAME ✨

Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::Wget β€” a plugin for fetching files using wget 🫢

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.88 ⭐

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

like, here's the whole thing, no notes:

use alienfile;

share {
  start_url 'https://www.openssl.org/source/';
  plugin 'Fetch::Wget';
};

periodt. that's the whole setup πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

WARNING: this plugin is somewhat experimental at this time. not me warning you but also being so fr about it 😭

so basically: this plugin gives you a fetch that runs on the wget command. it plays nice with the other fetch plugins too β€” meaning the first one that succeeds is the one that gets used. bestie it's a whole relay race πŸƒβ™€οΈ

most of the time, the plugin you actually want is Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate. but for some SSL bootstrapping situations, it might be cuter to try wget first πŸ‘‘

protocols supported: http, https ✨

πŸ’œ PROPERTIES πŸ’œ

πŸ“ ssl

ignored by this plugin πŸ™ˆ it's only here for compatibility with some other fetch plugins. she's just standing there, being supportive 🫢
