Re: http tool...

[Casey Boone <caseyboone@gmail.com>]

why yes actually, and there is more than one

wget and curl

curl is by far more advanced, but i am a big wget fan.

wget is really straightforward, wget http://url/and/path/to/file
(although i usually add -c and -t 0, check the man page to see what the
options do)

with curl you would do more curl http://url/and/path/to/file -o
filenameyouwantitsavedas

without the -o <filename> it just prints the results of the request to
standard output, again i would read the man page
