Since the local filesystem is read-only, you'll have to either have it output to stdout, or write to a directory in /tmp (keep in mind that dynos do not share /tmp directories). Also, dynos have a 30s timeout, so you won't be able to do anything complicated with wget unless you run it from a background worker. Overall, you'd be better off using actual ruby tools to do most things wget can do - check out httparty (http://httparty.rubyforge.org/) On Apr 16, 9:52 pm, barrett <ccmbru...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can I use wget from my heroku app? > > thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
