Ah... the reason getOoRexxDocs.rex didn't work for me at first is
because curl
needed --noproxy '*' to access SourceForge. With this additional option it
finds the
SourceForge resources and lists them, but so far it has not populated my local
directory
with any files. I have tried
| ~/bin/rexx
| $ getOoRexxDocs 5.1.0beta
| cmd: [curl --silent --list-only --noproxy '*'
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.1.0beta/]
| # 1:
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.1.0beta/ooRexx-5.1.0beta-all.zip]
:
| # 35:
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.1.0beta/oodguide.pdf]
|
| downloading ...
| # 1: [curl --silent --remote-time -L -O
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.1.0beta/ooRexx-5.1.0beta-all.zip]
...
:
| # 35: [curl --silent --remote-time -L -O
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/oorexx-docs/5.1.0beta/oodguide.pdf]
...
| done.
| @16:32:54,leslie@pinto rc=0
| ~/bin/rexx
| $ ll docs.5.1.0beta/
| total 0
| @16:33:04,leslie@pinto rc=0
(N.B. docs.5.1.0beta is empty)
and
|~/bin/rexx
| $ ll docs.5.1.0beta ooRexx-5.1.0beta-pdf.zip
| /bin/ls: cannot access 'ooRexx-5.1.0beta-pdf.zip': No such file or directory
