simple wget question

[bruce]

Hi.

I know.. off topic questions are usually frowned upon!

I was curious as to why the following wget returns a 403/forbidden. The
base url is accessed via the ff/chrome browser.. As far as I can tell/see,
the cmd should match what the network is seeing regarding the
headers/traffic.

Any thoughts.. thanks

wget -vvv --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0"   --cookies=on  --load-cookies=aa.lwp
--keep-session-cookies  --save-cookies=aa.lwp  --referer

Could be they have a wget deny in the web server which will be honored
unless you force wget usage.  Check the man pages.

I tested it.
They do not block robots.

On my fc22, I am getting the index.html file, using
an older version of FF.

But if you like, you can add the options -r --no-parent to get the whole 
enchillada
or if you know the full path of the file you want, then you need to 
specify that full path

I don't believe that they necessarily are, but a good idea is to clearly identify the
same in your subject line (eg OT:) so that people willing to frown have the opportunity to
not do so...i.e. move on to the next post.
