LinuxQuestions.org - Downloading Multiple Videos using FOR Loop

Scenario:

I watch computer based on-line tutorials via a site that uses ASP that allows downloading of their content. When I login and I look at the cookie, I can see that is uses a "AspSessionIdCopy" and a value"

"325434f6-57b2-4b65-8374-blahblahblah"

When I am looking at each video of the course that I am watching I can see that the link is the same with only the number incrementing such as:

Code:

http://www.website.com/home/Player.aspx?lpk4=108148&playChapter=False

http://www.website.com/home/Player.aspx?lpk4=108149&playChapter=False

http://www.website.com/home/Player.aspx?lpk4=108149&playChapter=False

So what I would like to do, is just download the videos using a "for" loop and watch them locally on my laptop at my leisure. Once I know the sequence of numbers of the series, I would proceed in downloading the content. This is my method I will use:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

for (( a=56; a<=96; a++ ))

do

    wget -c http://www.website.com/home/Player.aspx?lpk4=10814$a&playChapter=False

done

My question is that I can see that I will have to use authentication on order to be able to do this from the cli and thats the part that I cannot figure out. What is the correct syntax using wget with authentication:

Code:

wget -c username:password@http://www.website.com/home/Player.aspx?lpk4=10814$a&playChapter=False

or

adding to cookies.txt:

Code:

"AspSessionIdCopy 325434f6-57b2-4b65-8374-37ca1ec6ad9f"

Code:

#!/bin/bash

for (( a=56; a<=96; a++ ))

do

wget -c --load-cookies cookies.txt username:password@http://www.website.com/home/Player.aspx?lpk4=10814$a&playChapter=False

done

and download the context that I want. Will this work.

or maybe:

Code:

wget --post-data="username=artiomix&amp;pwd=yourpassword" --cookies=on --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies=cookie.txt "http://www.website.com/member.aspx"

Code:

wget --referer="http://www.website.com/members.aspx" --cookies=on --keep-session-cookies --load-cookies=cookie.txt http://www.website.com/home/Player.aspx?lpk4=108148&playChapter=False
