I am required to write a script that would download a file (based on a provided url to that file) using wget and then pipe the result to the mail command so that it can be mailed to a provided email address. This will be used in a php based project. "Piping the result" preferably would be a built link to the file on the server, so that...
I am trying to use wget to download a page, but I cannot get past the login screen. How to I send the username/password using post data thanks ...
I wish to get a particular set of files and the only access I have on that box is through the http inteface, which I can get from wget. Now the issue is that I want the latest files, and there are multiple which must be of the same time stamp. wget http://myserver/abc_20090901.tgz wget http://myserver/xyz_20090901.tgz wget http://myserv...
I want to download a list of web pages. I know wget can do this. However downloading every URL in every five minutes and save them to a folder seems beyond the capability of wget. Does anyone knows some tools either in java or python or Perl which accomplishes the task? Thanks in advance. ...
The URL http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Earth shows a live map of the Earth. If I issue this URL in my browser (FF), the image shows up just fine. But when I try 'wget' to fetch the same page, I fail! Here's what I tried first: wget -p http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Earth Thinking, that probably all other form fields are required ...
I'm trying to find any dead links on a website using wget. I'm running: wget -r -l20 -erobots=off --spider -S http://www.example.com which recursively checks to make sure each link on the page exists and retrieves the headers. I am then parsing the output with a simple script. I would like to know which page wget retrieved a given ...
hi there, I have been using wget to download some webpages: wget -E -H -k -K -p URL The above command works well for HTML, CSS, and images, but not Flash. Is there a way with wget to also download embedded Flash files? Or with some other open source tool? thanks ...
I have a web server that saves the logs files of a web application numbered. A file name example for this would be: dbsclog01s001.log dbsclog01s002.log dbsclog01s003.log The last 3 digits are the counter and they can get sometime up to 100. I usually open a web browser, browse to the file like: http://someaddress.com/logs/dbsclog01s...
Hi all - I have a script that is getting the GeoIP locations of various ips, this is run daily and I'm going to expect to have around ~50,000 ips to look up. I have a GeoIP system set up - I just would like to eliminate having to run wget 50,000 times per report. What I was thinking is, there must be some way to have wget open a con...
wget always echoes system values to the console, even when I specify -q (quiet) on the command line, e.g.: C:\> wget -q http://www.google.com/ SYSTEM_WGETRC = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc syswgetrc = C:\Program Files\GnuWin32/etc/wgetrc C:\> How do I make the noise stop? ...
I'm using wget to automatically download the ShellEd extension for Eclipse, but am receiving an error: http://: Invalid host name. I have used it successfully several times before, so I think it's because SourceForge uses a mirror. I've looked at the man page for wget, focusing on referer and http_proxy, but am still unsuccessful. H...
Is there any way of limiting the amount of data CURL will fetch? I'm screen scraping data off a page that is 50kb, however the data I require is in the top 1/4 of the page so I really only need to retrieve the first 10kb of the page. I'm asking because there is a lot of data I need to monitor which results in me transferring close to...
I'm trying to download multiple pdf files from a web page (I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.1). Here is a example what I'm getting (www.website.org is just for example): ~> wget -r -A.pdf http://www.website.org/web/ --2009-10-09 19:04:53-- http://www.website.org/web/ Resolving www.website.org... 208.43.98.107 Connecting to www.website.org|208....
I would like to download Google Trends csv data using wget, but I'm unfamiliar with using wget. An example URL is: http://www.google.com/insights/search/overviewReport?cat=71&geo=US&q=apple&date&cmpt=q&content=1&export=1 Opening this with a web browser, I retrieve the expected file. To do this with wget, I tri...
I'm trying to download images (.jpg) from web folder using wget. I want to download only images, which have a certain sentences in file name. This works fine wget -r -nd -A .jpg http://www.examplewebsite.com/folder/ but I like to include a sentence eg. "john". I tried wget -r -nd -A .jpg '*john*' http://www.examplewebsite.com/folde...
I'm building a little tool that will download files using wget, reading the urls from different files. The same url may be present in different files; the url may even be present in one file several times. It would be inefficient to download a page several times (every time its url found in the list(s)). Thus, the simple approach is to ...
I'm looking for a secure alternative to doing something like this, wget --mirror --preserve-permissions --directory-prefix=/hdd2/website-backups --exclude-directories=special,stats --ftp-user=user --ftp-password=pass ftp://ftp.domain.com It's executed via cron. The "--mirror" switch in that is important to me. ...
For various reasons I have created a simple HTTP server, and added SSL support via OpenSSL. I'm using self-signed certificates. IE, FireFox and Chrome happily load content as long as I add the CA to the trusted root CA's. However, wget (even when using the --no-check-certificate flag) reports: OpenSSL: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL...

Hi there, I’m writing a command line PHP console script to watch for new URLs and launch (large) downloads for a client’s project I am working on. The client is currently manually downloading them with a slightly specific wget command and ideally would like to stay with that. I was wondering what the best way to call wget from PHP woul...
