[wplug] wget

[Chris]

I tried that and it didn't work.  I get the following error:

[cromano at Atheris cromano]$ wget --glob=on
"https://www.dazl.com/DAZLdnld/INT000047579/*.EXE"
Warning: wildcards not supported in HTTP.

>From the man page:
 -g on/off
       --glob=on/off
           Turn FTP globbing on or off.  Globbing means you may use the
shell-like special characters (wildcards), like *, ?, [
           and ] to retrieve more than one file from the same directory
at once, like:

                   wget ftp://gnjilux.srk.fer.hr/*.msg

           By default, globbing will be turned on if the URL contains a
globbing character.  This option may be used to turn
           globbing on or off permanently.

           You may have to quote the URL to protect it from being
expanded by your shell.  Globbing makes Wget look for a
           directory listing, which is system-specific.  This is why it
currently works only with Unix FTP servers (and the
           ones emulating Unix "ls" output).
