Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/196

Hey there, I just pulled the master and poked around and then I realized that the wget command isn't working correctly. Running via docker-compose.

Describe the bug

wget is being executed with the following standard parameters:

wget --no-verbose --adjust-extension --convert-links --force-directories --backup-converted --span-hosts --no-parent --compression=auto -e robots=off --restrict-file-names=unix --timeout=60 --warc-file=warc/1553663964 --page-requisites "--user-agent=ArchiveBox/58c9b47d4 (+https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/) wget/1.18" https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/05/why-medicine-is-cheaper-in-germany/371418/

If I run this outside of the script, I get a wget: unrecognized option '--compression=auto' which makes wget basically stopp working.

Steps to reproduce

Run the above mentioned wget command

My workaround was to edit archivebox/archive_methods.py manually inside the container and comment out the compression=auto there.

@go2tom42 strange, can you give me this info and I'll debug it:

current git commit you're on
the output of wget --compression=auto --help on your machine (specifically I need the status code, whether it's 0 or something else)
if possible, run this in a python shell as well after cd ArchiveBox/archivebox;:

>>>from .config import WGET_AUTO_COMPRESSION
>>>print(WGET_AUTO_COMPRESSION)
True

>>>from .util import run
>>>run(["wget", "--compression=auto", "--help"], stdout=DEVNULL).returncode
0

I'm using the image from https://hub.docker.com/r/nikisweeting/archivebox

Output from wget --compression=auto --help inside container

$ wget --compression=auto --help
wget: unrecognized option '--compression=auto'
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try 'wget --help' for more options.

From location home/pptruser/app/archivebox ran

The wget inside the container is version 1.18, I believe compression was added with version 1.19.2 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2017-10/msg00007.html

This should be fixed on the latest django branch. If you're still seeing any issues comment back here and I'll reopen the ticket.

git checkout django
git pull
docker build . -t archivebox
docker run -v $PWD/output:/data archivebox init
docker run -v $PWD/output:/data archivebox add 'https://example.com'
