Hello, list! I'd like to automate a download that has to happen a number of times a week, and wget seems to be the best candidate for the job. Unfortunately, the website requires a login to get at the file I'm interested in, and once you're logged in, the site sets a number of cookies. When I use wget to try and get the file I'm interested in, and the cookies aren't present, I just get redirected. The cookies are set to expire at the end of the session, so I can't just use my browser's cookie file.
I was hoping that this would work: wget --cookies=on --http-user=user --http-passwd=passwd \ https://www.site.com/blah/filetoget.txt But it doesn't, unfortunately. Then I figured I could possibly have wget load up another page first, to set the cookies, a la: wget --cookies=on --http-user=user --http-passwd=passwd \ https://www.site.com/blah/login.asp \ https://www.site.com/blah/filetoget.txt But that doesn't work either. So my question is: Is it possible to have wget recieve cookies from one page and then repeat them to another? If not, I suppose I could probably contribute a "--load-cookies" method that will take a URL, rather than just a file, as the argument. Or something. Thanks in advance for any help! -CJ -- WOW: Nyctitropic | "Let us rain some DOOM upon the filthy heads apocalyptech.com/wow | of our DOOMED enemies!" [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - Zim
