Hi, I am using wget to download some science data files. I am using the option of having a text file contain the list of the URLs.
The URL contains a filename but also parameter and geographic region information. When I perform the download operation the filename constructed for the output file contains this extra information as part of the output filename. On my MS Windows XP system the download step fails. On my linux system the job completes correctly but the output filenames, as noted above, contain the sub-setting information. My text file (file1) of URLs contains lines such as... http://goldsmr2.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/opendap/MERRA/MAT1NXFLX.5.2.0/2010/01/MERRA300.prod.assim.tavg1_2d_flx_Nx.20100101.hdf?EOSGRID.Data%20Fields.TAUGWX[0:1:23][0:1:360][0:1:539],EOSGRID.Data%20Fields.PBLH[0:1:23][0:1:360][0:1:539],EOSGRID.Data%20Fields.DISPH[0:1:23][0:1:360][0:1:539] I am running wget from the command terminal window wget -i file1 I can override the output filename by .. wget -i file1 -o file-output but this is only workable for a text file containing one URL Is there a way of overriding the output file name and still use a file containing multiple URLs other than writing a perl script to process each line of the text file. Perhaps --content-disposition and use the header file CGI option to set the output file names? Thank you Peter M. Smith
