I want to be able to download a page and all of its associated resources (images, style sheets, script files, etc) using Python. I am (somewhat) familiar with urllib2 and know how to download individual urls, but before I go and start hacking at BeautifulSoup + urllib2 I wanted to be sure that there wasn't already a Python equivalent to...
I have a bash-sctipt running 5 php scripts via wget. Every php file is called but, on the last script, I get this warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in xyz.php, on line ABC What it is really strange is, if I run the same script via browser, the script runs fine, without any warning. T...
I need to run a specific mysql query upon wget, which is running in the background, finishes downloading a file. For example... wget http://domain/file.zip then run: UPDATE table SET status = 'live' WHERE id = '1234' How would I go about doing this? ...
Related: see here I've got this command: exec("(wget -O http://domain/file.zip && mysql -u user -ppassword database -e \"UPDATE \\`table\\` SET \\`status\\` = 'live' WHERE \\`id\\` = '1234'\") & echo \$!"); The above command works fine, however PHP waits for the video to finish downloading before going on to the next download. The f...
I'm trying to download a static mirror of a wiki using wget. I only want the latest version of each article (not the full history or diffs between versions). It would be easy to just download the whole thing and delete unnecessary pages later, but doing so would take too much time and place an unnecessary strain on the server. There a...
I have a task to download Gbs of data from a website. The data is in form of .gz files, each file being 45mb in size. The easy way to get the files is use "wget -r -np -A files url". This will donwload data in a recursive format and mirrors the website. The donwload rate is very high 4mb/sec. But, just to play around I was also using p...
When I use "lynx" via the terminal I believe it is using an symbolic link, but my Google searches have failed to show me how to determine the symbolic path value. That is, I would like to determine the symbolic link value for "lynx", and a few others, e.g. wget, etc. Thanks for any insights and suggestions. P.S. I am using the termi...
I am writing a WiX-based installer for our software. I need to download some non-trivial dependencies (like Sql Server Express 2008), then install them. I could just use wget, but having the console open to show progress could be very confusing for non-technical people. Instead, I have been looking for a program that works just like w...
What does it do? I read that it downloads things from Stdin, but where do you actually need it? Conclusion some_program | wget -i - -P ./directory wget gets urls as Stdin from some_program. The input will result in output generated by wget to ./directory. wget -i ./file The above command gets urls form ./file, and it generates out...

Hi, I use curl, in php and httplib2 in python to fetch URL. However, there are some pages that use JavaScript (AJAX) to reterive the data after you have loaded the page and they just overwrite a specific section of the page afterward. So, is there any command line utility that can handle JavaScript? To know what I mean go to: monste...

My host allows limited access to SSH and Linux commands. However, I can't use Wget believe it or not. I was hoping for something to download a file (.flv) from another server. Is there another command I can try? If there isn't, I could probably make use of Python, Perl or PHP (favourite) to achieve a file download. Is it possible? ...
Trying to mirror a local intranet site and have found previous questions using 'wget'. It works great with sites that are anonymous, but I have not been able to use it against a site that is expecting username\password (IIS with Integrated Windows Authentication). Here is what I pass in: wget -c --http-user='domain\user' --http-pas...
Hi, Is is possible to prevent Wget from making an output file when there is an error like 404. When I run wget -O my.html http://sdfsdfdsf.sdfds http://sdfsdfdsf.sdfds does not exist but Wget still creates my.html I am making a bash script and want to make sure it stops if wget can't get a valid file. ...

Hi I'm using wget for Windows and I want to specify a --post-data filter (and avoid using a --post-file filter) but I'm struggling to get it to work. It might be because there are strings within double quote marks like this : wget "http://www.somesite.com/wfs" --header="Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8" --user=username --passwor...
