Worked on my FreeBSD partition. Also worked on my GNU/Linux partition, just tested it so's I don't have to convince you to install FreeBSD :) Note that the URL contains *two* characters that the shell treats differently. You'll have to either escape them or enclose the URL in quotation marks, i.e: wget " http://wesm.ph/chart/export/luzon_dmd_csv_export.php?date=20150403&hour=10"; Here's the result I got: cat "luzon_dmd_csv_export.php?date=20150403&hour=10" HOUR,LUZDEM_DAPEL,LUZDEM_RTDEL,LUZDEM_RTXEL,LUZLWAP_DAPEL,LUZLWAP_RTDEL,LUZLWAP_RTXEL 1,4770.1,4784.2,4775.3,1342.27,1409.69,1410.26 2,4411.5,4656.9,4624.7,44694.41,1632.39,1631.04 3,4248.6,4468.1,4474.6,46206.81,1625.77,1626.42 4,4150.9,4377.8,4300.2,47164.91,1449.69,1337.38 5,4277.8,4258.8,4188.5,1174.85,1174.34,1173.2 6,3864.1,4005.2,3981.3,49548.6,382.99,249.36 7,3704.3,3860.9,3897.2,51694.22,0,204.11 8,3825.3,4024.3,3982.9,58371.16,206.72,204.79 9,4158.1,4176.1,4169.1,516.84,518.46,508.79 10,4130.6,4343.2,,55169.33,810.06, 11,4265.5,,,53617.68,, 12,4259.4,,,53636.83,, 13,4410.7,,,52419.85,, 14,4481.8,,,51478.37,, 15,4448.4,,,51734.69,, 16,4339.4,,,51543.17,, 17,4226.3,,,52604.57,, 18,4361.7,,,51920.13,, 19,5050.8,,,56180.15,, 20,5148,,,55239.16,, 21,5234.5,,,54377.99,, 22,5352.8,,,53303.8,, 23,5186.6,,,55145.97,, 24,4915.6,,,49970.37,, One other thing: I was too lazy to set an output file with -O *output-file*.
