Using wget to save dr.jack files without cookies

[[email protected]]

Greetings,

I used to have a batch file set up on a previous computer which would download 6 images of soaring data each day from dr.jack's site. This worked but used the cookie info within wget to get access to future day data.

My new computer is not playing nicely with cookies so I tried to use the URL format for cookieless downloads described on dr.jack's site.

When I use the cookieless URL in Firefox with the login info, it works. Try using the same URL via wget and no go. Looks like wget is for some reason inserting a space after my username, but that's just a guess.

Thought I'd see if anyone here might be able to help.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Have you considered using curl instead?

curl -o <filename-to-save-as> -u <username>:<password> <url>

Bart,

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
