I use wget to fetch the following URL http://rollyo.com/search.html?q=ruby+scraping+del.icio.us+user&sid=web
The resultant filename is ...rollyo.com/search.html?q=ruby+scraping+del.icio.us+user.html N.B. truncated at '&' and .html appended My wget options are UA="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)" BASE="somedir" ARGS = "--html-extension " + "--page-requisites " + "--force-directories " + "--convert-links " + '--directory-prefix="' + BASE + '/cache2" ' + "--timestamping " + #{}"--wait=1 " + '--restrict-file-names=unix ' + '--user-agent="' + UA + '" ' + '--append-output="' + BASE + '/wget2.log" ' + "--server-response " How do I get the full file name? Mac OS X by the way Ed
