Setting the Accept: header
Hi, some web services (especially in REST style) use content negotiation which means the client has to set the Accept: header. Using wget, this is currently not possible (I checked wget-1.8.2 and wget-1.9). For example, wget --header='Accept: application/rdf+xml' http://localhost:4 leads to the following request: | GET / HTTP/1.0 | User-Agent: Wget/1.9 | Host: localhost:4 | Accept: */* | Connection: Keep-Alive | Accept: application/rdf+xml | Which is one Accept too much. bye, Matthias
passing a login and password
Hi I have a client who basically needs to regularly grab content from part of their website and mirror or it and or save it so they can disseminate it as HTML on a CD. The website though is written in ColdFusion as requires application level authentication which is just form vars passed to the system called login and one called password. Is there a way to do this with wget? If not I suspect I can add to the applications security something that looks for the login and password in the URL then I could just make sure to append that to the URL that is given to wget. Thanks in advance, Robi

Later versions of wget support posting of forms. Try: wget http://www.yourclient.com/somepage.html --http-post=login=userpassword=pw Tony
