Wget saves file as frs/dl0 etc etc

brad · Post by **brad** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 5:28 am

When grabbing Joomla via wget the file is automatically saved as something like frs/dl0 (something like that). The file is valid though.

Whats the best link to use to get the file in this situation? ie so it is saved as joomla_version.tar.gz etc etc

Unfortunately, there's no workaround other than using the API (see the frsGet project on http://tapestry.sourceforge.vasw.com) or by using a browser. Wget doesn't seem to understand the filenames as SFEE pushes them, while the major browsers do.

You can try grabbing the file with Lynx or w3m, both are console based web browsers.

I can cope.. was just trying to find the answer before I heard the same question from a user.

No workaround for this? Using Firefox, I can't even get the download location - stupid javascript

I was able to work around this with this command:

wget http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/d ... s1820?dl=1 --user-agent="" -dv

I think it is setting the user agent string to null that makes it work

you end up with a random file name but you can still tar -xvzf it

i just rename the random name to joomla before I untar.

I tried
wget http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/d ... s1820?dl=1 --user-agent="" -dv
today and it has stopped working!

BUMMER!

I wish it would be easier to wget. I install Joomla a lot these days! (Love it!)

Try this out, worked for me. You just have to rename the file when you get it to something like joomla.tar.gz

wget http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/d ... s1820?dl=1 --user-agent="firefox" -dv

This worked for me:

Code: Select all

wget --user-agent="firefox" http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/downloadRelease/projects.joomla/frs.joomla_1_0.1_0_4;jsessionid=26F91235771D9A1A1A1BC83777534A2C?dl=1

For some reason the --user-agent at the end was not working...

Try this:

wget http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/d ... s1820?dl=1 --user-agent="firefox" -dv -O joomla.tar.gz
