wget fails when i want to download from a URL which contains "=" or "&'
Hi All!
I just wanted to get some stuff from kde-llook.org and took this command : wget -r --accept=jpg,JPG ......kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=1x2x3x4x5x6x7 and wget said : ........kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=1x2x3x4x5x6x7 Invalid Argument My question is, how can i download from such a location. Thx, Regards |
Try putting the URL in quotes.

It fails again
Hi!
I tried to put the URL in quotes , even in double quotes, but it fails again with the same error message. |
Ah, hang on a minute. Are you actually typing all those dots at the beginning? For me, then running wget -r --accept=jpg,JPG
http://kde-look.org/index.php?xconte...=1x2x3x4x5x6x7 seems to work. |
Why i put those dots into the URL is becouse of this site's limitations. I wrote the correct URL into the command, i copy-pasted it from my browser. But i tried it on my company machine, which is running windoze(!!!!!??????#&@#>&#@#), i took this command inside a cygwin bash, and i also tried the gnu-wget for win as well, but both fails with the same message.

Hmmm, to be honest, I'm out of ideas. Sorry, and hope you get it sorted.
|
Thanks for your replies Trvelluk, at least now i know that what i wanted could be done somehow. Maybe i should try this on some linux-based machine. I hate this windoze stuff!

KDE-look does some strange things. You can use 'wget' to download all individual files, but it's more difficult to download the HTML pages. I think they store a lot of data in sessions/cookies, because I cannot find any indication of those at the URL/query-string. |
