Hi folks

Is wget support php redirection ?

I want to download htttp://www.nsbop.sux/download.php?id=333 , it redirects to htttp://www.nsbop.sux/staff/emoubi.tgz

When I execute:
wget -c htttp://www.nsbop.sux/download.php?id=333 it downloads the file staff/emoubi.tgz but with name download.php?id=333

How can I make wget to follow the redirections and save the file with his actual file name (emoubi.tgz) ?


Also I wanna ask can I download with links without opening his user interface ? Something like:
links --download htttp://www.nsbop.sux/download.php?id=333

wget -o doesn't work? Just a thought.

Good luck,

I do not know the real file name of download.php?id=333. That's the problem, wget must redirect to the actual file and save it with it's actual name (emoubi.tgz in my example)

Right but with the -o option, you don't need to know the name, you just make one you like (-o is to specify the output name).
I don't think it supports PHP redirection, but I'm not sure. I don't see anything in the man, info, or FAQ about it.

Exactly. I don't want to specify a file name because I don't know it I'm talking about 10 000+ files.

Thanks for the answers anyway.

From manual:

‘--trust-server-names’
If this is set to on, on a redirect the last component of the redirection URL will be used as the local file name. By default it is used the last component in the original URL.

For security reasons, the distributions set max-redirect to zero. You may set it to 1 at the run-time like ....

wget --max-redirect=1 http://domainname.com/path/to/file/to/download

or you may add the following line at the bottom of /etc/wgetrc (the usual default location)...

max-redirect = 1
