Interesting!
Off-topic, but i have downloaded this via
#!/bin/sh -
FROM=https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/
#FROM=https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/
MYDIR=/x/doc/coding/rfc
: ${WGET:=`command -v curl` --silent}
#: ${WGET:=`command -v wget` -q -O -}
##
cd "${MYDIR}" || {
echo >&2 'Cannot cd to '"${MYDIR}"
exit 21
}
xfiles= estat=0
while [ ${#} -gt 0 ]; do
RFC=${1}
shift
[ -f "rfc${RFC}.txt" ] && {
echo 'RFC '${RFC}': a local copy of this RFC yet exists'
continue
}
printf 'Fetching RFC %s.txt ... ' "${RFC}"
if ${WGET} "${FROM}"rfc${RFC}.txt > rfc${RFC}.txt; then
xfiles="${xfiles} rfc${RFC}.txt"
printf 'ok\n'
else
printf 'failed!\n'
estat=1
fi
done
if [ -n "${xfiles}" ]; then
"${EDITOR}" INDEX.txt ${xfiles}
fi
exit ${estat}
and the file is contaminated with NULs.
