+Subject: [PATCH] * src/metalink.c (clean_metalink_string): Fix inverted
+ trailing-space check
+
+37a40fcb added an `end > beg' bound guard to prevent a buffer
+underflow, but accidentally flipped the condition from `isspace' to
+`!isspace'. The loop therefore walked back over non-space characters
+instead of trailing whitespace, collapsing any string without a
+trailing newline to "". Every Metalink/HTTP resource URL was wiped,
+so wget could not follow any mirror and
+testenv/Test-metalink-http.py failed ("Expected file test.meta not
+found"). Restore the `isspace' condition.
