Inside a sparkly new initramfs, busybox is not doing as I ask.

New busybox wget 192.168.1.1 returns
Code:
wget: bad port 'http'


Old busybox wget 192.168.1.1 successfully obtains a file.

New busybox appears to contain a complete wget:
Code:
grep -i wget .config
CONFIG_WGET=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_LONG_OPTIONS=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_STATUSBAR=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_FTP=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_AUTHENTICATION=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_TIMEOUT=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_HTTPS=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_OPENSSL=y


Ah. Why does my new wget return "bad port" whereas the old wget does not?

Code:
tmp/busybox_old | head -n 1
BusyBox v1.25.1 (2017-06-28 12:04:29 AEST) multi-call binary.
bin/busybox | head -n 1
BusyBox v1.36.1 (2025-03-30 13:43:38 AEDT) multi-call binary.

Code:
$ qlist -vI busybox; busybox | head -n 1; busybox wget ftp://ftp.funet.fi/dev/10Mrnd
sys-apps/busybox-1.36.1-r3
BusyBox v1.36.1 (2025-02-21 03:15:40 EET) multi-call binary.
Connecting to ftp.funet.fi (193.166.3.2:21)
saving to '10Mrnd'

Works for me. ... but that's ftp.
Code:
$ busybox wget www.frogfind.com
Connecting to www.frogfind.com (64.227.13.248:80)
saving to 'index.html'
index.html           100% |***************************************|    25  0:00:00 ETA

Code:
$ busybox wget 1.1.1.1
Connecting to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1:80)
Connecting to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1:443)
wget: error getting response: Connection reset by peer

And the config:
Code:
$ fgrep -i wget /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.36.1-r3

CONFIG_WGET=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_LONG_OPTIONS=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_STATUSBAR=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_FTP=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_AUTHENTICATION=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_TIMEOUT=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_HTTPS=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_WGET_OPENSSL=y

What's the version you have installed via portage? (qlist -vI busybox).

This feel like you missing /etc/services file or something mis-configure about nss. The messages seems indicate wget cannot translate the word "http" to number.
