Re: [Bug-wget] Problem downloading pages

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

it can't be done with a single call to wget but you need a script.  This
shell function can help you to get the desired pdf file.

function download_article
{
    until fgrep "POST" $1.html; do
        wget -O $1.html --keep-session-cookies \
            --save-cookies=cookies.$1  --load-cookies=cookies.$1 \
            "http://archivio.lastampa.it/LaStampaArchivio/servlet/CreaPdf?ID=$1";
        sleep 2s
    done

    wget --post-data="" -O $1.pdf --keep-session-cookies \
        --save-cookies=cookies.$1  --load-cookies=cookies.$1 \
        "http://archivio.lastampa.it/LaStampaArchivio/servlet/CreaPdf?ID=$1";

    rm $1.html
    rm cookies.$1
}

# Call the function
download_article 1050435


Cheers,
Giuseppe
