I'll try to be brief

I manage a system that collects weather data and it uses wget to capture data from various pages the National Weather Service. They are changing the links for the data and I'm under a deadline to get it pointing to the new links before the scripts break.


This is a link to the information that I need WGET to dump to a file(wget -O filename.txt etc...)
http://forecast.weather.gov/product....F&issuedby=MLB

It works fine from a browser - Please see for yourself - but WGET gets a 404 error ultimately...the actual output is below.

I think it has something to do w/the 302 Redirect but have yet to find a way around it. I tried various options including sending a browsers user agent string but everything ends in a 404.

I'd owe whoever knows what is going on and how to fix it a beer.

Try putting the URL in quotes; it contains special characters which need to be protected from the shell.
