A simple request which is confusing me mightily!
I'd like to download a remote webpage *including* any images, css
files, etc which are required and rewrite those to work in the
local copy. This is simple stuff with wget usually, but I'm
running into problems because I must have the initial page
be downloaded to a fixed name.
wget seems to dislike my initial attempt:
wget --O index.html --no-clobber --page-requisites \
--convert-links --no-directories --url=http://en.wikipedia.org/
The "--no-clobber" here, designed to avoid a file overwriting one
which already exists, stops things from working.
curl seems to allow me to name files like -O "index_#1", but it
doesn't do rewriting of the page contents (images/css/etc).
(I'm trying to create archives of bookmarks in an online bookmark
application - so I want files for bookmark "xx" to be located in
/path/to/archives/xx/ - which is why I have to insist upon "index.html"
as the initial page.)
I guess I could use perl to get a URLs contents, parse it for
links, and then get them individually - but it seems like this should
be a simple request... I looked at httrack too, but that seemed
confusingly complex.
