File download utility [SOLVED]

[Thorham]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good command line utility that can download files from the internet through the bsdsocket.library?

Any help is appreciated

[kriz]

use wget ? http://m68k.aminet.net/search?query=wget

I always use it, very nice and easy.

Thanks for the tip Unfortunately it uses ixemul.library, and I don't use ixemul software, because I hate ixemul

Anyone have anything that only needs bsdsocket.library?

This port doesnt seem to use ixemul:

Tried it, and unfortunately it does They probably forgot to mention this in the readme

Now that's what I'm talking about, many thanks

While searching myself, I've actually come across this but I didn't try it, because of the file description: Resume interrupted HTTP downloads. Makes you think it's only for resuming downloads, and not a download utility

Anyway, problem solved Thanks to everyone who posted

Similar to HTTPResume but in ARexx:

I love HTTP Resume on the A1200, but for some reason it won't work on the A600, which is a real shame because I can't run a browser to download a file on the 2MB A600, but if someone on IRC for example showed a link to a picture or file I would like to be able to download it with HTTP Resume and load it in Multiview or something. I'll have to try GetIt, that might do the job.

Try this:

/* rexx */

parse arg args

if args = "?" then do
	say "Usage: rx httpget [proxy] <url> <outfile>"
	say "Example: rx httpget 192.168.47.11:8080 http://www.google.com/index.html ram:google.html"
	exit
end

parse var args proxy url outfile rest

if rest ~= "" then do
	say "invalid arguments"
	exit 20
end

if outfile = "" then do
	outfile = url
	url = proxy
	proxy = ""
end

if outfile = "" | url = "" then do
	say "required argument missing"
	exit 20
end

if proxy = "" then do
	parse var url prot "://" server "/" path
	if prot ~= "http" then do
		say "invalid protocol" prot
		exit 20
	end
	parse var server server ":" port
	path = "/"path
end
else do
	parse var proxy server ":" port
	path = url
end

if port = "" then
	port = 80

if Open(tcp,"tcp:"server"/"port,write) then do
	call WriteLn tcp,"GET" path "HTTP/1.0"
	call WriteLn tcp,""
	in = strip(ReadLn(tcp),'T','0D'x)
	do while (~eof(tcp) & in ~= "")
		say in
		in = strip(ReadLn(tcp),'T','0D'x)
	end
	if ~eof(tcp) then do
		if Open(out,outfile,write) then do
			len = 0
			buffer = ReadCh(tcp,32768)
			do while (~eof(tcp))
				len = len + length(buffer)
				call WriteCh out,buffer
				buffer = ReadCh(tcp,32768)
			end
			call Close out
			say len "bytes received."
		end
		else
			say "unable to open output file" outfile
	end
	call Close tcp
end

Nice one, didn't know Httpresume .. Thx ;(

Had to wake this thread up because I'm looking for a similar program like wget in Linux... Been googling for a while because I wanted to avoid wget because it requires ixemul, and I got very limited space.

I have set up AmiTCP 3 (GNU Version from Aminet), and network seems to be up. I can ping google.com for example.

But when I try to run HTTPResume from shell it always tells me that "AmiTCP or compaible TCP/IP stack must be started first!". Why does it not detect my TCP/IP stack.....?

EDIT:
Tried to run DCTelnet from Aminet on the same setup, and DCTelnet is able to detect bsdsocket.library and I'm able to telnet without any problem...
So the problem seems to be HTTPResume for some reason....anyone else experiencing this?

[Firestone]

Hmm further investigation reveals that it requires version 4 of bsdsocket.library. Saw this in the SnoopDos-log..... crap


EDIT:
Just for fun I opened the AmiTCP executable in an hex editor and hacked the version-number of bsdsocket.library to be above 4.0 and saved the file, relaunched AmiTCP and woala! HTTPResume now works on AmiTCP 3.0b2 Crappy solution, but it works for this project I'm working on

Hello. I would like to know if it is possible to download a file from a https site from the Amiga using a command line. I was using WGet with success from a http one, but now it doesn't seem to work.

If you have to download files from Aminet or similar Wget and WallGet still work fine

[idrougge]

AGet is a small alternative; it's included in https://aminet.net/package/util/misc/UHCTools

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Confirmed, also AGet can download files from Aminet similar websites.
