download file

[Bhikkhu Mettavihari]

hi,

I am on linux

How do I download a file from this site ?

http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=TY

when I do
$wget  http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=TY
then I get a small file by the name of  "gm.asp?ai=214" with content like this.

<asx version="3.0">
                                <!-- GMX -->
                                <title>CastUP: Unknown Error</title>
                                <entry>
                                        <title>Error: Unknown Error</title>
                                    <author></author>
                                        <ref href="http://" />
                                </entry>
                        </asx>

The reason you are getting that is because that's the file you're telling it 
to download. 

wget is working perfectly. 

Are you trying to have wget figure out where the asp file is pointing you to 
download?

Re: download file

[Renê]

Are you getting this error because address contains the & character,
that it's used by shell to start proccess in background,
you can easily download file with wget by putting double quotes in address:

wget "http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=TY"

or use \& instead &, like this:

wget http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214\&ar=1050wmv\&ak=TY

Cheers;

Thank you so much. I do get the file that wget is asking for.
But as you might know I am trying to download the video file that is
referenced to in this file
If any one of you can help with that would be great.

Re: download file

[Renê]

I think that are lot of ways, but this one should work:

1) Get the file with stream urls:

wget -O videos "http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak=TY"

PS: The contents will be saved in file "videos"

2) Extract the stream urls:

cat videos | grep "mms://" | sed "s/<ref href=\"\(.*\)\".*/\1/" > urls

3) Now file "urls" contains each stream url

4) You can save the stream with Mplayer:

mplayer -dumpstream
"mms://s95wm.castup.net/server12/39182686-61.wmv?ct=BR&rg=NA&aid=214&st=0&ts=0&cu=77D67414-0C4A-4A7E-A3EE-41600FDA4131"

PS: Do not forget to put the stream url in double quotes :)

Cheers;

Renê
