Is there any way I could get this behavior with cURL?

Question

I am testing one of my server implementations and was wondering if I could make curl get embedded content? I mean, when a browser loads a page, it downloads all associated content too... Can someone please tell me how to do this with curl?

I don't mind if it dumps even the binary data onto the terminal... I am trying to benchmark my server (keeping it simple initially to test for bugs... probably after this, I will use one of those dedicated tools like ab)...

Answer 1

if you want to download recursively, use wget with -r option, instead of curl. also check out the wget man page to get certain types of files.

Answer 2

wget --page-requisites

This option causes Wget to download all the files that are necessary to properly display a given HTML page.
