Bug#744725: busybox: wget is appending instead of replacing with "--header"
Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.22.0-5
Severity: normal
The following command fails for me:
---
$ busybox wget --header 'Host: 1.updates.services.ffhl' "http://luebeck.freifunk.net/stable/sysupgrade/gluon-ffhl-0.4-tp-link-tl-mr3420-v1-sysupgrade.bin";
Connecting to luebeck.freifunk.net (141.83.153.180:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
---
While with GNU Wget 1.15 it works just fine:
---
wget --header 'Host: 1.updates.services.ffhl' "http://luebeck.freifunk.net/stable/sysupgrade/gluon-ffhl-0.4-tp-link-tl-mr3420-v1-sysupgrade.bin";

Looking at the HTTP Get message with wireshark it seems that
busybox-wget is keeping the original "Host: luebeck.freifunk.net" and
only appends "Host: 1.updates.services.ffhl". While GNU-wget is
replacing the original http host field which seems to make more sense
from a user's perspective.
