Anyone know if Wget can be made to pass a userid and a password in a form in order to get in to a site and grab the pages?

wget -r --http-user=user --http-passwd=password http://www.xxx.yyy/zzz/index.html The one thing I never quite figured out was how to limit the recursive levels, they always seemed to do other tha I expected. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Linux Only Shop.

The -l option worked for me: i.e. I used to use -l 7 to stop at depth 7. Bruce Marshall wrote:

The form is a web page..... and I've tried the user and passwd stuff and get an 'unknown authentication scheme' error from wget.
You could try logging in with mozilla and using wget with the --load-cookies .mozilla/path/path/cookies.txt option. It might work. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

If the form is a standard http-authentication popup you can use the --http-user or --http-passwd options. The details are in the man pages (man wget). This is fairly common for 'internal' sites.
