title: Using wget and getting a different outcome than when using a browser
body: <p>I am using wget for windows (gnuwin32 wget-1.11.4-1) in Windows 8 and using it for a helpdesk tool called kayako, telling it to poll from an email queue. The command line looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>wget.exe -O null --timeout 25 http://xxx.kayako.com/cron/index.php?/Parser/ParserMinute/POP3IMAP
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know it takes around 20 seconds to receive a response from the server in my particular case when using a browser with the url in the command line above. However, when using that command, it returns almost immediately. This is an excerpt of the output:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Connecting to xxx.kayako.com[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:80... connected. HTTP
    request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: unspecified
    [text/html]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I would like to know what would be the difference between the two cases and how could I get wget to behave in the same way as the computer (I know it doesn't because kayako is not polling from the email queue).</p>
