Return Codes
The do303 service does return HTTP_status_codes .
Beside the three digit number in the header,
also some text in the HTTP content body.
Program wget does not display that text.
However curl does. Tests with foo and bar/foo.deb.
$ wget --no-verbose http://stappers.it/do303/foo
http://stappers.it/do303/foo:
2016-07-11 13:34:43 ERROR 400: Bad Request.
$ wget --no-verbose http://stappers.it/do303/bar/foo.deb
http://stappers.it/do303/bar/foo.deb:
2016-07-11 13:34:43 ERROR 400: Bad Request.
$ curl --silent http://stappers.it/do303/foo
unknown type, verbose http://stappers.it/ra303/rc.html#unknowntype
$ curl --silent http://stappers.it/do303/bar/foo.deb
wrong format, verbose http://stappers.it/ra303/rc.html#wrongformat
wget showing only 400 Bad Reqeust, curl does show text.
Advice: use curl for getting more information for why the error.
Be aware that curl does not follow 303 See Other, where wget does it nicely.
