or the KDE I/O library.
It is based on KDE2, Qt 2.2, either GPL'ed libraries.

  between kmago widgets

* full configurable
* enabled to manage many retriever commands
* stable and reliable downloading process based on GNU wget
* cookie and http related management offered by KDE I/O library

 NOTES
=========

* wget has a global configuration file, in debian /etc/wgetrc, and a per-user
  file, ~/.wgetrc. Don't set "http_proxy" or "ftp_proxy" or you will not have
  the possibilty to change this value, because Wget override values set in 
  environment with the ones in configuration file.

* for KDE version < 2.0pre, add to configure:
    --enable-kurlerr-req
    --enable-kaction-err

* When kmago crash, wget processes remain active in background, so you have to
  kill them manually. Please submit a bug report (from version 0.5.1 bug report 
  pops up automatically on parse errors).

* if you want to use a document used in previous version with kmago-0.6, 
  you have to manually edit it and replace `Id="0"' with `Id="2"' in the 
  second line of the file.

* from version > 1.0.2, kde retriever is enabled by default, you can disable it
  with --disable-kio option in ./configure. If you plan to use it, consider
  upgrade KDE to 2.1

* wget retriever can be disabled with configure option --disable-wget

* many options are being added from version 1.1, check them with kmago --help

WARNINGS FOR GCC 2.96
======================
for RH 7 users, and everyone who has gcc 2.96
The compilation goes well on gcc 2.95, but gcc 2.96
could find some bugs here and there. I don't have gcc 2.96
so I patch it when you send me a bug report.
