Basic Startup Options


       -V       [Dihilangkan|diganti help->credits]
       --version
           Display the version of Wget.

       -h       [Dihilangkan|Diganti help->manual]
       --help
           Print a help message describing all of Wget's command-line options.

       -b       [Dihilangkan]
       --background
           Go to background immediately after startup.  If no output file is
           specified via the -o, output is redirected to wget-log.

       -e command   [Dihilangkan]
       --execute command
           Execute command as if it were a part of .wgetrc.  A command thus
           invoked will be executed after the commands in .wgetrc, thus taking
           precedence over them.  If you need to specify more than one wgetrc
           command, use multiple instances of -e.

       Logging and Input File Options


       -o logfile
       --output-file=logfile
           Log all messages to logfile.  The messages are normally reported to
           standard error.

       -a logfile
       --append-output=logfile
           Append to logfile.  This is the same as -o, only it appends to
           logfile instead of overwriting the old log file.  If logfile does
           not exist, a new file is created.

       -d
       --debug
           Turn on debug output, meaning various information important to the
           developers of Wget if it does not work properly.  Your system
           administrator may have chosen to compile Wget without debug
           support, in which case -d will not work.  Please note that
           compiling with debug support is always safe---Wget compiled with
           the debug support will not print any debug info unless requested
           with -d.

       -q       [Dihilangkan]
       --quiet
           Turn off Wget's output.

       -v       [Dihilangkan]
       --verbose
           Turn on verbose output, with all the available data.  The default
           output is verbose.

       -nv      [Dihilangkan]
       --no-verbose
           Turn off verbose without being completely quiet (use -q for that),
           which means that error messages and basic information still get
           printed.

       -i file  [Dihilangkan]
       --input-file=file
           Read URLs from file.  If - is specified as file, URLs are read from
           the standard input.  (Use ./- to read from a file literally named
           -.)

           If this function is used, no URLs need be present on the command
           line.  If there are URLs both on the command line and in an input
           file, those on the command lines will be the first ones to be
           retrieved.  The file need not be an HTML document (but no harm if
           it is)---it is enough if the URLs are just listed sequentially.

           However, if you specify --force-html, the document will be regarded
           as html.  In that case you may have problems with relative links,
           which you can solve either by adding "<base href="url">" to the
           documents or by specifying --base=url on the command line.

       -F       [Dihilangkan]
       --force-html
           When input is read from a file, force it to be treated as an HTML
           file.  This enables you to retrieve relative links from existing
           HTML files on your local disk, by adding "<base href="url">" to
           HTML, or using the --base command-line option.

       -B URL
       --base=URL
           Prepends URL to relative links read from the file specified with
           the -i option.

       Download Options


       --bind-address=ADDRESS   [preference|conncetion]
           When making client TCP/IP connections, bind to ADDRESS on the local
           machine.  ADDRESS may be specified as a hostname or IP address.
           This option can be useful if your machine is bound to multiple IPs.

       -t number                [preference|conncetion]
       --tries=number
           Set number of retries to number.  Specify 0 or inf for infinite
           retrying.  The default is to retry 20 times, with the exception of
           fatal errors like "connection refused" or "not found" (404), which
           are not retried.

       -O file          [Save to]
       --output-document=file
           The documents will not be written to the appropriate files, but all
           will be concatenated together and written to file.  If - is used as
           file, documents will be printed to standard output, disabling link
           conversion.  (Use ./- to print to a file literally named -.)

           Use of -O is not intended to mean simply "use the name file instead
           of the one in the URL;" rather, it is analogous to shell
           redirection: wget -O file http://foo is intended to work like wget
           -O - http://foo > file; file will be truncated immediately, and all
           downloaded content will be written there.

           For this reason, -N (for timestamp-checking) is not supported in
           combination with -O: since file is always newly created, it will
           always have a very new timestamp. A warning will be issued if this
           combination is used.

           Similarly, using -r or -p with -O may not work as you expect: Wget
           won't just download the first file to file and then download the
           rest to their normal names: all downloaded content will be placed
           in file. This was disabled in version 1.11, but has been reinstated
           (with a warning) in 1.11.2, as there are some cases where this
           behavior can actually have some use.

           Note that a combination with -k is only permitted when downloading
           a single document, as in that case it will just convert all
           relative URIs to external ones; -k makes no sense for multiple URIs
           when they're all being downloaded to a single file.

       -nc
       --no-clobber
           If a file is downloaded more than once in the same directory,
           Wget's behavior depends on a few options, including -nc.  In
           certain cases, the local file will be clobbered, or overwritten,
           upon repeated download.  In other cases it will be preserved.

           When running Wget without -N, -nc, -r, or p, downloading the same
           file in the same directory will result in the original copy of file
           being preserved and the second copy being named file.1.  If that
           file is downloaded yet again, the third copy will be named file.2,
           and so on.  When -nc is specified, this behavior is suppressed, and
           Wget will refuse to download newer copies of file.  Therefore,
           ""no-clobber"" is actually a misnomer in this mode---it's not
           clobbering that's prevented (as the numeric suffixes were already
           preventing clobbering), but rather the multiple version saving
           that's prevented.

           When running Wget with -r or -p, but without -N or -nc, re-
           downloading a file will result in the new copy simply overwriting
           the old.  Adding -nc will prevent this behavior, instead causing
           the original version to be preserved and any newer copies on the
           server to be ignored.

           When running Wget with -N, with or without -r or -p, the decision
           as to whether or not to download a newer copy of a file depends on
           the local and remote timestamp and size of the file.  -nc may not
           be specified at the same time as -N.

           Note that when -nc is specified, files with the suffixes .html or
           .htm will be loaded from the local disk and parsed as if they had
           been retrieved from the Web.

       -c           [setiap resume]
       --continue
           Continue getting a partially-downloaded file.  This is useful when
           you want to finish up a download started by a previous instance of
           Wget, or by another program.  For instance:

                   wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z

           If there is a file named ls-lR.Z in the current directory, Wget
           will assume that it is the first portion of the remote file, and
           will ask the server to continue the retrieval from an offset equal
           to the length of the local file.

           Note that you don't need to specify this option if you just want
           the current invocation of Wget to retry downloading a file should
           the connection be lost midway through.  This is the default
           behavior.  -c only affects resumption of downloads started prior to
           this invocation of Wget, and whose local files are still sitting
           around.

           Without -c, the previous example would just download the remote
           file to ls-lR.Z.1, leaving the truncated ls-lR.Z file alone.

           Beginning with Wget 1.7, if you use -c on a non-empty file, and it
           turns out that the server does not support continued downloading,
           Wget will refuse to start the download from scratch, which would
           effectively ruin existing contents.  If you really want the
           download to start from scratch, remove the file.

           Also beginning with Wget 1.7, if you use -c on a file which is of
           equal size as the one on the server, Wget will refuse to download
           the file and print an explanatory message.  The same happens when
           the file is smaller on the server than locally (presumably because
           it was changed on the server since your last download
           attempt)---because "continuing" is not meaningful, no download
           occurs.

           On the other side of the coin, while using -c, any file that's
           bigger on the server than locally will be considered an incomplete
           download and only "(length(remote) - length(local))" bytes will be
           downloaded and tacked onto the end of the local file.  This
           behavior can be desirable in certain cases---for instance, you can
           use wget -c to download just the new portion that's been appended
           to a data collection or log file.

           However, if the file is bigger on the server because it's been
           changed, as opposed to just appended to, you'll end up with a
           garbled file.  Wget has no way of verifying that the local file is
           really a valid prefix of the remote file.  You need to be
           especially careful of this when using -c in conjunction with -r,
           since every file will be considered as an "incomplete download"
           candidate.

           Another instance where you'll get a garbled file if you try to use
           -c is if you have a lame HTTP proxy that inserts a "transfer
           interrupted" string into the local file.  In the future a
           "rollback" option may be added to deal with this case.

           Note that -c only works with FTP servers and with HTTP servers that
           support the "Range" header.

       --progress=type      [progress bar]
           Select the type of the progress indicator you wish to use.  Legal
           indicators are "dot" and "bar".

           The "bar" indicator is used by default.  It draws an ASCII progress
           bar graphics (a.k.a "thermometer" display) indicating the status of
           retrieval.  If the output is not a TTY, the "dot" bar will be used
           by default.

           Use --progress=dot to switch to the "dot" display.  It traces the
           retrieval by printing dots on the screen, each dot representing a
           fixed amount of downloaded data.

           When using the dotted retrieval, you may also set the style by
           specifying the type as dot:style.  Different styles assign
           different meaning to one dot.  With the "default" style each dot
           represents 1K, there are ten dots in a cluster and 50 dots in a
           line.  The "binary" style has a more "computer"-like
           orientation---8K dots, 16-dots clusters and 48 dots per line (which
           makes for 384K lines).  The "mega" style is suitable for
           downloading very large files---each dot represents 64K retrieved,
           there are eight dots in a cluster, and 48 dots on each line (so
           each line contains 3M).

           Note that you can set the default style using the "progress"
           command in .wgetrc.  That setting may be overridden from the
           command line.  The exception is that, when the output is not a TTY,
           the "dot" progress will be favored over "bar".  To force the bar
           output, use --progress=bar:force.

       -N
       --timestamping
           Turn on time-stamping.

       -S
       --server-response
           Print the headers sent by HTTP servers and responses sent by FTP
           servers.

       --spider
           When invoked with this option, Wget will behave as a Web spider,
           which means that it will not download the pages, just check that
           they are there.  For example, you can use Wget to check your
           bookmarks:

                   wget --spider --force-html -i bookmarks.html

           This feature needs much more work for Wget to get close to the
           functionality of real web spiders.

       -T seconds
       --timeout=seconds
           Set the network timeout to seconds seconds.  This is equivalent to
           specifying --dns-timeout, --connect-timeout, and --read-timeout,
           all at the same time.

           When interacting with the network, Wget can check for timeout and
           abort the operation if it takes too long.  This prevents anomalies
           like hanging reads and infinite connects.  The only timeout enabled
           by default is a 900-second read timeout.  Setting a timeout to 0
           disables it altogether.  Unless you know what you are doing, it is
           best not to change the default timeout settings.

           All timeout-related options accept decimal values, as well as
           subsecond values.  For example, 0.1 seconds is a legal (though
           unwise) choice of timeout.  Subsecond timeouts are useful for
           checking server response times or for testing network latency.

       --dns-timeout=seconds
           Set the DNS lookup timeout to seconds seconds.  DNS lookups that
           don't complete within the specified time will fail.  By default,
           there is no timeout on DNS lookups, other than that implemented by
           system libraries.

       --connect-timeout=seconds
           Set the connect timeout to seconds seconds.  TCP connections that
           take longer to establish will be aborted.  By default, there is no
           connect timeout, other than that implemented by system libraries.

       --read-timeout=seconds
           Set the read (and write) timeout to seconds seconds.  The "time" of
           this timeout refers to idle time: if, at any point in the download,
           no data is received for more than the specified number of seconds,
           reading fails and the download is restarted.  This option does not
           directly affect the duration of the entire download.

           Of course, the remote server may choose to terminate the connection
           sooner than this option requires.  The default read timeout is 900
           seconds.

       --limit-rate=amount
           Limit the download speed to amount bytes per second.  Amount may be
           expressed in bytes, kilobytes with the k suffix, or megabytes with
           the m suffix.  For example, --limit-rate=20k will limit the
           retrieval rate to 20KB/s.  This is useful when, for whatever
           reason, you don't want Wget to consume the entire available
           bandwidth.

           This option allows the use of decimal numbers, usually in
           conjunction with power suffixes; for example, --limit-rate=2.5k is
           a legal value.

           Note that Wget implements the limiting by sleeping the appropriate
           amount of time after a network read that took less time than
           specified by the rate.  Eventually this strategy causes the TCP
           transfer to slow down to approximately the specified rate.
           However, it may take some time for this balance to be achieved, so
           don't be surprised if limiting the rate doesn't work well with very
           small files.

       -w seconds
       --wait=seconds
           Wait the specified number of seconds between the retrievals.  Use
           of this option is recommended, as it lightens the server load by
           making the requests less frequent.  Instead of in seconds, the time
           can be specified in minutes using the "m" suffix, in hours using
           "h" suffix, or in days using "d" suffix.

           Specifying a large value for this option is useful if the network
           or the destination host is down, so that Wget can wait long enough
           to reasonably expect the network error to be fixed before the
           retry.  The waiting interval specified by this function is
           influenced by "--random-wait", which see.

       --waitretry=seconds
           If you don't want Wget to wait between every retrieval, but only
           between retries of failed downloads, you can use this option.  Wget
           will use linear backoff, waiting 1 second after the first failure
           on a given file, then waiting 2 seconds after the second failure on
           that file, up to the maximum number of seconds you specify.
           Therefore, a value of 10 will actually make Wget wait up to (1 + 2
           + ... + 10) = 55 seconds per file.

           Note that this option is turned on by default in the global wgetrc
           file.

       --random-wait
           Some web sites may perform log analysis to identify retrieval
           programs such as Wget by looking for statistically significant
           similarities in the time between requests. This option causes the
           time between requests to vary between 0.5 and 1.5 * wait seconds,
           where wait was specified using the --wait option, in order to mask
           Wget's presence from such analysis.

           A 2001 article in a publication devoted to development on a popular
           consumer platform provided code to perform this analysis on the
           fly.  Its author suggested blocking at the class C address level to
           ensure automated retrieval programs were blocked despite changing
           DHCP-supplied addresses.

           The --random-wait option was inspired by this ill-advised
           recommendation to block many unrelated users from a web site due to
           the actions of one.

       --no-proxy
           Don't use proxies, even if the appropriate *_proxy environment
           variable is defined.

       -Q quota
       --quota=quota
           Specify download quota for automatic retrievals.  The value can be
           specified in bytes (default), kilobytes (with k suffix), or
           megabytes (with m suffix).

           Note that quota will never affect downloading a single file.  So if
           you specify wget -Q10k ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/ls-lR.gz, all of
           the ls-lR.gz will be downloaded.  The same goes even when several
           URLs are specified on the command-line.  However, quota is
           respected when retrieving either recursively, or from an input
           file.  Thus you may safely type wget -Q2m -i sites---download will
           be aborted when the quota is exceeded.

           Setting quota to 0 or to inf unlimits the download quota.

       --no-dns-cache
           Turn off caching of DNS lookups.  Normally, Wget remembers the IP
           addresses it looked up from DNS so it doesn't have to repeatedly
           contact the DNS server for the same (typically small) set of hosts
           it retrieves from.  This cache exists in memory only; a new Wget
           run will contact DNS again.

           However, it has been reported that in some situations it is not
           desirable to cache host names, even for the duration of a short-
           running application like Wget.  With this option Wget issues a new
           DNS lookup (more precisely, a new call to "gethostbyname" or
           "getaddrinfo") each time it makes a new connection.  Please note
           that this option will not affect caching that might be performed by
           the resolving library or by an external caching layer, such as
           NSCD.

           If you don't understand exactly what this option does, you probably
           won't need it.

       --restrict-file-names=mode
           Change which characters found in remote URLs may show up in local
           file names generated from those URLs.  Characters that are
           restricted by this option are escaped, i.e. replaced with %HH,
           where HH is the hexadecimal number that corresponds to the
           restricted character.

           By default, Wget escapes the characters that are not valid as part
           of file names on your operating system, as well as control
           characters that are typically unprintable.  This option is useful
           for changing these defaults, either because you are downloading to
           a non-native partition, or because you want to disable escaping of
           the control characters.

           When mode is set to "unix", Wget escapes the character / and the
           control characters in the ranges 0--31 and 128--159.  This is the
           default on Unix-like OS'es.

           When mode is set to "windows", Wget escapes the characters \, |, /,
           :, ?, ", *, <, >, and the control characters in the ranges 0--31
           and 128--159.  In addition to this, Wget in Windows mode uses +
           instead of : to separate host and port in local file names, and
           uses @ instead of ? to separate the query portion of the file name
           from the rest.  Therefore, a URL that would be saved as
           www.xemacs.org:4300/search.pl?input=blah in Unix mode would be
           saved as www.xemacs.org+4300/search.pl@input=blah in Windows mode.
           This mode is the default on Windows.

           If you append ,nocontrol to the mode, as in unix,nocontrol,
           escaping of the control characters is also switched off.  You can
           use --restrict-file-names=nocontrol to turn off escaping of control
           characters without affecting the choice of the OS to use as file
           name restriction mode.

       -4
       --inet4-only
       -6
       --inet6-only
           Force connecting to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.  With --inet4-only or
           -4, Wget will only connect to IPv4 hosts, ignoring AAAA records in
           DNS, and refusing to connect to IPv6 addresses specified in URLs.
           Conversely, with --inet6-only or -6, Wget will only connect to IPv6
           hosts and ignore A records and IPv4 addresses.

           Neither options should be needed normally.  By default, an
           IPv6-aware Wget will use the address family specified by the host's
           DNS record.  If the DNS responds with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses,
           Wget will try them in sequence until it finds one it can connect
           to.  (Also see "--prefer-family" option described below.)

           These options can be used to deliberately force the use of IPv4 or
           IPv6 address families on dual family systems, usually to aid
           debugging or to deal with broken network configuration.  Only one
           of --inet6-only and --inet4-only may be specified at the same time.
           Neither option is available in Wget compiled without IPv6 support.

       --prefer-family=IPv4/IPv6/none
           When given a choice of several addresses, connect to the addresses
           with specified address family first.  IPv4 addresses are preferred
           by default.

           This avoids spurious errors and connect attempts when accessing
           hosts that resolve to both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses from IPv4
           networks.  For example, www.kame.net resolves to
           2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085 and to 203.178.141.194.  When
           the preferred family is "IPv4", the IPv4 address is used first;
           when the preferred family is "IPv6", the IPv6 address is used
           first; if the specified value is "none", the address order returned
           by DNS is used without change.

           Unlike -4 and -6, this option doesn't inhibit access to any address
           family, it only changes the order in which the addresses are
           accessed.  Also note that the reordering performed by this option
           is stable---it doesn't affect order of addresses of the same
           family.  That is, the relative order of all IPv4 addresses and of
           all IPv6 addresses remains intact in all cases.

       --retry-connrefused
           Consider "connection refused" a transient error and try again.
           Normally Wget gives up on a URL when it is unable to connect to the
           site because failure to connect is taken as a sign that the server
           is not running at all and that retries would not help.  This option
           is for mirroring unreliable sites whose servers tend to disappear
           for short periods of time.

       --user=user
       --password=password
           Specify the username user and password password for both FTP and
           HTTP file retrieval.  These parameters can be overridden using the
           --ftp-user and --ftp-password options for FTP connections and the
           --http-user and --http-password options for HTTP connections.

       Directory Options


       -nd
       --no-directories
           Do not create a hierarchy of directories when retrieving
           recursively.  With this option turned on, all files will get saved
           to the current directory, without clobbering (if a name shows up
           more than once, the filenames will get extensions .n).

       -x
       --force-directories
           The opposite of -nd---create a hierarchy of directories, even if
           one would not have been created otherwise.  E.g. wget -x
           http://fly.srk.fer.hr/robots.txt will save the downloaded file to
           fly.srk.fer.hr/robots.txt.

       -nH
       --no-host-directories
           Disable generation of host-prefixed directories.  By default,
           invoking Wget with -r http://fly.srk.fer.hr/ will create a
           structure of directories beginning with fly.srk.fer.hr/.  This
           option disables such behavior.

       --protocol-directories
           Use the protocol name as a directory component of local file names.
           For example, with this option, wget -r http://host will save to
           http/host/... rather than just to host/....

       --cut-dirs=number
           Ignore number directory components.  This is useful for getting a
           fine-grained control over the directory where recursive retrieval
           will be saved.

           Take, for example, the directory at
           ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/.  If you retrieve it with -r, it
           will be saved locally under ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/.  While the
           -nH option can remove the ftp.xemacs.org/ part, you are still stuck
           with pub/xemacs.  This is where --cut-dirs comes in handy; it makes
           Wget not "see" number remote directory components.  Here are
           several examples of how --cut-dirs option works.

                   No options        -> ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/
                   -nH               -> pub/xemacs/
                   -nH --cut-dirs=1  -> xemacs/
                   -nH --cut-dirs=2  -> .

                   --cut-dirs=1      -> ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/
                   ...

           If you just want to get rid of the directory structure, this option
           is similar to a combination of -nd and -P.  However, unlike -nd,
           --cut-dirs does not lose with subdirectories---for instance, with
           -nH --cut-dirs=1, a beta/ subdirectory will be placed to
           xemacs/beta, as one would expect.

       -P prefix
       --directory-prefix=prefix
           Set directory prefix to prefix.  The directory prefix is the
           directory where all other files and subdirectories will be saved
           to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree.  The default is . (the
           current directory).

       HTTP Options


       -E
       --html-extension
           If a file of type application/xhtml+xml or text/html is downloaded
           and the URL does not end with the regexp \.[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]?, this
           option will cause the suffix .html to be appended to the local
           filename.  This is useful, for instance, when you're mirroring a
           remote site that uses .asp pages, but you want the mirrored pages
           to be viewable on your stock Apache server.  Another good use for
           this is when you're downloading CGI-generated materials.  A URL
           like http://site.com/article.cgi?25 will be saved as
           article.cgi?25.html.

           Note that filenames changed in this way will be re-downloaded every
           time you re-mirror a site, because Wget can't tell that the local
           X.html file corresponds to remote URL X (since it doesn't yet know
           that the URL produces output of type text/html or
           application/xhtml+xml.  To prevent this re-downloading, you must
           use -k and -K so that the original version of the file will be
           saved as X.orig.

       --http-user=user
       --http-password=password
           Specify the username user and password password on an HTTP server.
           According to the type of the challenge, Wget will encode them using
           either the "basic" (insecure), the "digest", or the Windows "NTLM"
           authentication scheme.

           Another way to specify username and password is in the URL itself.
           Either method reveals your password to anyone who bothers to run
           "ps".  To prevent the passwords from being seen, store them in
           .wgetrc or .netrc, and make sure to protect those files from other
           users with "chmod".  If the passwords are really important, do not
           leave them lying in those files either---edit the files and delete
           them after Wget has started the download.

       --no-cache
           Disable server-side cache.  In this case, Wget will send the remote
           server an appropriate directive (Pragma: no-cache) to get the file
           from the remote service, rather than returning the cached version.
           This is especially useful for retrieving and flushing out-of-date
           documents on proxy servers.

           Caching is allowed by default.

       --no-cookies
           Disable the use of cookies.  Cookies are a mechanism for
           maintaining server-side state.  The server sends the client a
           cookie using the "Set-Cookie" header, and the client responds with
           the same cookie upon further requests.  Since cookies allow the
           server owners to keep track of visitors and for sites to exchange
           this information, some consider them a breach of privacy.  The
           default is to use cookies; however, storing cookies is not on by
           default.

       --load-cookies file
           Load cookies from file before the first HTTP retrieval.  file is a
           textual file in the format originally used by Netscape's
           cookies.txt file.

           You will typically use this option when mirroring sites that
           require that you be logged in to access some or all of their
           content.  The login process typically works by the web server
           issuing an HTTP cookie upon receiving and verifying your
           credentials.  The cookie is then resent by the browser when
           accessing that part of the site, and so proves your identity.

           Mirroring such a site requires Wget to send the same cookies your
           browser sends when communicating with the site.  This is achieved
           by --load-cookies---simply point Wget to the location of the
           cookies.txt file, and it will send the same cookies your browser
           would send in the same situation.  Different browsers keep textual
           cookie files in different locations:

           @asis<Netscape 4.x.>
               The cookies are in ~/.netscape/cookies.txt.

           @asis<Mozilla and Netscape 6.x.>
               Mozilla's cookie file is also named cookies.txt, located
               somewhere under ~/.mozilla, in the directory of your profile.
               The full path usually ends up looking somewhat like
               ~/.mozilla/default/some-weird-string/cookies.txt.

           @asis<Internet Explorer.>
               You can produce a cookie file Wget can use by using the File
               menu, Import and Export, Export Cookies.  This has been tested
               with Internet Explorer 5; it is not guaranteed to work with
               earlier versions.

           @asis<Other browsers.>
               If you are using a different browser to create your cookies,
               --load-cookies will only work if you can locate or produce a
               cookie file in the Netscape format that Wget expects.

           If you cannot use --load-cookies, there might still be an
           alternative.  If your browser supports a "cookie manager", you can
           use it to view the cookies used when accessing the site you're
           mirroring.  Write down the name and value of the cookie, and
           manually instruct Wget to send those cookies, bypassing the
           "official" cookie support:

                   wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: <name>=<value>"

       --save-cookies file
           Save cookies to file before exiting.  This will not save cookies
           that have expired or that have no expiry time (so-called "session
           cookies"), but also see --keep-session-cookies.

       --keep-session-cookies
           When specified, causes --save-cookies to also save session cookies.
           Session cookies are normally not saved because they are meant to be
           kept in memory and forgotten when you exit the browser.  Saving
           them is useful on sites that require you to log in or to visit the
           home page before you can access some pages.  With this option,
           multiple Wget runs are considered a single browser session as far
           as the site is concerned.

           Since the cookie file format does not normally carry session
           cookies, Wget marks them with an expiry timestamp of 0.  Wget's
           --load-cookies recognizes those as session cookies, but it might
           confuse other browsers.  Also note that cookies so loaded will be
           treated as other session cookies, which means that if you want
           --save-cookies to preserve them again, you must use
           --keep-session-cookies again.

       --ignore-length
           Unfortunately, some HTTP servers (CGI programs, to be more precise)
           send out bogus "Content-Length" headers, which makes Wget go wild,
           as it thinks not all the document was retrieved.  You can spot this
           syndrome if Wget retries getting the same document again and again,
           each time claiming that the (otherwise normal) connection has
           closed on the very same byte.

           With this option, Wget will ignore the "Content-Length" header---as
           if it never existed.

       --header=header-line
           Send header-line along with the rest of the headers in each HTTP
           request.  The supplied header is sent as-is, which means it must
           contain name and value separated by colon, and must not contain
           newlines.

           You may define more than one additional header by specifying
           --header more than once.

                   wget --header='Accept-Charset: iso-8859-2' \
                        --header='Accept-Language: hr'        \
                          http://fly.srk.fer.hr/

           Specification of an empty string as the header value will clear all
           previous user-defined headers.

           As of Wget 1.10, this option can be used to override headers
           otherwise generated automatically.  This example instructs Wget to
           connect to localhost, but to specify foo.bar in the "Host" header:

                   wget --header="Host: foo.bar" http://localhost/

           In versions of Wget prior to 1.10 such use of --header caused
           sending of duplicate headers.

       --max-redirect=number
           Specifies the maximum number of redirections to follow for a
           resource.  The default is 20, which is usually far more than
           necessary. However, on those occasions where you want to allow more
           (or fewer), this is the option to use.

       --proxy-user=user
       --proxy-password=password
           Specify the username user and password password for authentication
           on a proxy server.  Wget will encode them using the "basic"
           authentication scheme.

           Security considerations similar to those with --http-password
           pertain here as well.

       --referer=url
           Include `Referer: url' header in HTTP request.  Useful for
           retrieving documents with server-side processing that assume they
           are always being retrieved by interactive web browsers and only
           come out properly when Referer is set to one of the pages that
           point to them.

       --save-headers
           Save the headers sent by the HTTP server to the file, preceding the
           actual contents, with an empty line as the separator.

       -U agent-string
       --user-agent=agent-string
           Identify as agent-string to the HTTP server.

           The HTTP protocol allows the clients to identify themselves using a
           "User-Agent" header field.  This enables distinguishing the WWW
           software, usually for statistical purposes or for tracing of
           protocol violations.  Wget normally identifies as Wget/version,
           version being the current version number of Wget.

           However, some sites have been known to impose the policy of
           tailoring the output according to the "User-Agent"-supplied
           information.  While this is not such a bad idea in theory, it has
           been abused by servers denying information to clients other than
           (historically) Netscape or, more frequently, Microsoft Internet
           Explorer.  This option allows you to change the "User-Agent" line
           issued by Wget.  Use of this option is discouraged, unless you
           really know what you are doing.

           Specifying empty user agent with --user-agent="" instructs Wget not
           to send the "User-Agent" header in HTTP requests.

       --post-data=string
       --post-file=file
           Use POST as the method for all HTTP requests and send the specified
           data in the request body.  "--post-data" sends string as data,
           whereas "--post-file" sends the contents of file.  Other than that,
           they work in exactly the same way.

           Please be aware that Wget needs to know the size of the POST data
           in advance.  Therefore the argument to "--post-file" must be a
           regular file; specifying a FIFO or something like /dev/stdin won't
           work.  It's not quite clear how to work around this limitation
           inherent in HTTP/1.0.  Although HTTP/1.1 introduces chunked
           transfer that doesn't require knowing the request length in
           advance, a client can't use chunked unless it knows it's talking to
           an HTTP/1.1 server.  And it can't know that until it receives a
           response, which in turn requires the request to have been completed
           -- a chicken-and-egg problem.

           Note: if Wget is redirected after the POST request is completed, it
           will not send the POST data to the redirected URL.  This is because
           URLs that process POST often respond with a redirection to a
           regular page, which does not desire or accept POST.  It is not
           completely clear that this behavior is optimal; if it doesn't work
           out, it might be changed in the future.

           This example shows how to log to a server using POST and then
           proceed to download the desired pages, presumably only accessible
           to authorized users:

                   # Log in to the server.  This can be done only once.
                   wget --save-cookies cookies.txt \
                        --post-data 'user=foo&password=bar' \
                        http://server.com/auth.php

                   # Now grab the page or pages we care about.
                   wget --load-cookies cookies.txt \
                        -p http://server.com/interesting/article.php

           If the server is using session cookies to track user
           authentication, the above will not work because --save-cookies will
           not save them (and neither will browsers) and the cookies.txt file
           will be empty.  In that case use --keep-session-cookies along with
           --save-cookies to force saving of session cookies.

       --content-disposition
           If this is set to on, experimental (not fully-functional) support
           for "Content-Disposition" headers is enabled. This can currently
           result in extra round-trips to the server for a "HEAD" request, and
           is known to suffer from a few bugs, which is why it is not
           currently enabled by default.

           This option is useful for some file-downloading CGI programs that
           use "Content-Disposition" headers to describe what the name of a
           downloaded file should be.

       --auth-no-challenge
           If this option is given, Wget will send Basic HTTP authentication
           information (plaintext username and password) for all requests,
           just like Wget 1.10.2 and prior did by default.

           Use of this option is not recommended, and is intended only to
           support some few obscure servers, which never send HTTP
           authentication challenges, but accept unsolicited auth info, say,
           in addition to form-based authentication.

       HTTPS (SSL/TLS) Options

       To support encrypted HTTP (HTTPS) downloads, Wget must be compiled with
       an external SSL library, currently OpenSSL.  If Wget is compiled
       without SSL support, none of these options are available.

       --secure-protocol=protocol
           Choose the secure protocol to be used.  Legal values are auto,
           SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1.  If auto is used, the SSL library is given
           the liberty of choosing the appropriate protocol automatically,
           which is achieved by sending an SSLv2 greeting and announcing
           support for SSLv3 and TLSv1.  This is the default.

           Specifying SSLv2, SSLv3, or TLSv1 forces the use of the
           corresponding protocol.  This is useful when talking to old and
           buggy SSL server implementations that make it hard for OpenSSL to
           choose the correct protocol version.  Fortunately, such servers are
           quite rare.

       --no-check-certificate
           Don't check the server certificate against the available
           certificate authorities.  Also don't require the URL host name to
           match the common name presented by the certificate.

           As of Wget 1.10, the default is to verify the server's certificate
           against the recognized certificate authorities, breaking the SSL
           handshake and aborting the download if the verification fails.
           Although this provides more secure downloads, it does break
           interoperability with some sites that worked with previous Wget
           versions, particularly those using self-signed, expired, or
           otherwise invalid certificates.  This option forces an "insecure"
           mode of operation that turns the certificate verification errors
           into warnings and allows you to proceed.

           If you encounter "certificate verification" errors or ones saying
           that "common name doesn't match requested host name", you can use
           this option to bypass the verification and proceed with the
           download.  Only use this option if you are otherwise convinced of
           the site's authenticity, or if you really don't care about the
           validity of its certificate.  It is almost always a bad idea not to
           check the certificates when transmitting confidential or important
           data.

       --certificate=file
           Use the client certificate stored in file.  This is needed for
           servers that are configured to require certificates from the
           clients that connect to them.  Normally a certificate is not
           required and this switch is optional.

       --certificate-type=type
           Specify the type of the client certificate.  Legal values are PEM
           (assumed by default) and DER, also known as ASN1.

       --private-key=file
           Read the private key from file.  This allows you to provide the
           private key in a file separate from the certificate.

       --private-key-type=type
           Specify the type of the private key.  Accepted values are PEM (the
           default) and DER.

       --ca-certificate=file
           Use file as the file with the bundle of certificate authorities
           ("CA") to verify the peers.  The certificates must be in PEM
           format.

           Without this option Wget looks for CA certificates at the system-
           specified locations, chosen at OpenSSL installation time.

       --ca-directory=directory
           Specifies directory containing CA certificates in PEM format.  Each
           file contains one CA certificate, and the file name is based on a
           hash value derived from the certificate.  This is achieved by
           processing a certificate directory with the "c_rehash" utility
           supplied with OpenSSL.  Using --ca-directory is more efficient than
           --ca-certificate when many certificates are installed because it
           allows Wget to fetch certificates on demand.

           Without this option Wget looks for CA certificates at the system-
           specified locations, chosen at OpenSSL installation time.

       --random-file=file
           Use file as the source of random data for seeding the pseudo-random
           number generator on systems without /dev/random.

           On such systems the SSL library needs an external source of
           randomness to initialize.  Randomness may be provided by EGD (see
           --egd-file below) or read from an external source specified by the
           user.  If this option is not specified, Wget looks for random data
           in $RANDFILE or, if that is unset, in $HOME/.rnd.  If none of those
           are available, it is likely that SSL encryption will not be usable.

           If you're getting the "Could not seed OpenSSL PRNG; disabling SSL."
           error, you should provide random data using some of the methods
           described above.

       --egd-file=file
           Use file as the EGD socket.  EGD stands for Entropy Gathering
           Daemon, a user-space program that collects data from various
           unpredictable system sources and makes it available to other
           programs that might need it.  Encryption software, such as the SSL
           library, needs sources of non-repeating randomness to seed the
           random number generator used to produce cryptographically strong
           keys.

           OpenSSL allows the user to specify his own source of entropy using
           the "RAND_FILE" environment variable.  If this variable is unset,
           or if the specified file does not produce enough randomness,
           OpenSSL will read random data from EGD socket specified using this
           option.

           If this option is not specified (and the equivalent startup command
           is not used), EGD is never contacted.  EGD is not needed on modern
           Unix systems that support /dev/random.

       FTP Options


       --ftp-user=user
       --ftp-password=password
           Specify the username user and password password on an FTP server.
           Without this, or the corresponding startup option, the password
           defaults to -wget@, normally used for anonymous FTP.

           Another way to specify username and password is in the URL itself.
           Either method reveals your password to anyone who bothers to run
           "ps".  To prevent the passwords from being seen, store them in
           .wgetrc or .netrc, and make sure to protect those files from other
           users with "chmod".  If the passwords are really important, do not
           leave them lying in those files either---edit the files and delete
           them after Wget has started the download.

       --no-remove-listing
           Don't remove the temporary .listing files generated by FTP
           retrievals.  Normally, these files contain the raw directory
           listings received from FTP servers.  Not removing them can be
           useful for debugging purposes, or when you want to be able to
           easily check on the contents of remote server directories (e.g. to
           verify that a mirror you're running is complete).

           Note that even though Wget writes to a known filename for this
           file, this is not a security hole in the scenario of a user making
           .listing a symbolic link to /etc/passwd or something and asking
           "root" to run Wget in his or her directory.  Depending on the
           options used, either Wget will refuse to write to .listing, making
           the globbing/recursion/time-stamping operation fail, or the
           symbolic link will be deleted and replaced with the actual .listing
           file, or the listing will be written to a .listing.number file.

           Even though this situation isn't a problem, though, "root" should
           never run Wget in a non-trusted user's directory.  A user could do
           something as simple as linking index.html to /etc/passwd and asking
           "root" to run Wget with -N or -r so the file will be overwritten.

       --no-glob
           Turn off FTP globbing.  Globbing refers to the use of shell-like
           special characters (wildcards), like *, ?, [ and ] to retrieve more
           than one file from the same directory at once, like:

                   wget ftp://gnjilux.srk.fer.hr/*.msg

           By default, globbing will be turned on if the URL contains a
           globbing character.  This option may be used to turn globbing on or
           off permanently.

           You may have to quote the URL to protect it from being expanded by
           your shell.  Globbing makes Wget look for a directory listing,
           which is system-specific.  This is why it currently works only with
           Unix FTP servers (and the ones emulating Unix "ls" output).

       --no-passive-ftp
           Disable the use of the passive FTP transfer mode.  Passive FTP
           mandates that the client connect to the server to establish the
           data connection rather than the other way around.

           If the machine is connected to the Internet directly, both passive
           and active FTP should work equally well.  Behind most firewall and
           NAT configurations passive FTP has a better chance of working.
           However, in some rare firewall configurations, active FTP actually
           works when passive FTP doesn't.  If you suspect this to be the
           case, use this option, or set "passive_ftp=off" in your init file.

       --retr-symlinks
           Usually, when retrieving FTP directories recursively and a symbolic
           link is encountered, the linked-to file is not downloaded.
           Instead, a matching symbolic link is created on the local
           filesystem.  The pointed-to file will not be downloaded unless this
           recursive retrieval would have encountered it separately and
           downloaded it anyway.

           When --retr-symlinks is specified, however, symbolic links are
           traversed and the pointed-to files are retrieved.  At this time,
           this option does not cause Wget to traverse symlinks to directories
           and recurse through them, but in the future it should be enhanced
           to do this.

           Note that when retrieving a file (not a directory) because it was
           specified on the command-line, rather than because it was recursed
           to, this option has no effect.  Symbolic links are always traversed
           in this case.

       --no-http-keep-alive
           Turn off the "keep-alive" feature for HTTP downloads.  Normally,
           Wget asks the server to keep the connection open so that, when you
           download more than one document from the same server, they get
           transferred over the same TCP connection.  This saves time and at
           the same time reduces the load on the server.

           This option is useful when, for some reason, persistent (keep-
           alive) connections don't work for you, for example due to a server
           bug or due to the inability of server-side scripts to cope with the
           connections.

       Recursive Retrieval Options


       -r
       --recursive
           Turn on recursive retrieving.

       -l depth
       --level=depth
           Specify recursion maximum depth level depth.  The default maximum
           depth is 5.

       --delete-after
           This option tells Wget to delete every single file it downloads,
           after having done so.  It is useful for pre-fetching popular pages
           through a proxy, e.g.:

                   wget -r -nd --delete-after http://whatever.com/~popular/page/

           The -r option is to retrieve recursively, and -nd to not create
           directories.

           Note that --delete-after deletes files on the local machine.  It
           does not issue the DELE command to remote FTP sites, for instance.
           Also note that when --delete-after is specified, --convert-links is
           ignored, so .orig files are simply not created in the first place.

       -k
       --convert-links
           After the download is complete, convert the links in the document
           to make them suitable for local viewing.  This affects not only the
           visible hyperlinks, but any part of the document that links to
           external content, such as embedded images, links to style sheets,
           hyperlinks to non-HTML content, etc.

           Each link will be changed in one of the two ways:

           ·   The links to files that have been downloaded by Wget will be
               changed to refer to the file they point to as a relative link.

               Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to
               /bar/img.gif, also downloaded, then the link in doc.html will
               be modified to point to ../bar/img.gif.  This kind of
               transformation works reliably for arbitrary combinations of
               directories.

           ·   The links to files that have not been downloaded by Wget will
               be changed to include host name and absolute path of the
               location they point to.

               Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to
               /bar/img.gif (or to ../bar/img.gif), then the link in doc.html
               will be modified to point to http://hostname/bar/img.gif.

           Because of this, local browsing works reliably: if a linked file
           was downloaded, the link will refer to its local name; if it was
           not downloaded, the link will refer to its full Internet address
           rather than presenting a broken link.  The fact that the former
           links are converted to relative links ensures that you can move the
           downloaded hierarchy to another directory.

           Note that only at the end of the download can Wget know which links
           have been downloaded.  Because of that, the work done by -k will be
           performed at the end of all the downloads.

       -K
       --backup-converted
           When converting a file, back up the original version with a .orig
           suffix.  Affects the behavior of -N.

       -m
       --mirror
           Turn on options suitable for mirroring.  This option turns on
           recursion and time-stamping, sets infinite recursion depth and
           keeps FTP directory listings.  It is currently equivalent to -r -N
           -l inf --no-remove-listing.

       -p
       --page-requisites
           This option causes Wget to download all the files that are
           necessary to properly display a given HTML page.  This includes
           such things as inlined images, sounds, and referenced stylesheets.

           Ordinarily, when downloading a single HTML page, any requisite
           documents that may be needed to display it properly are not
           downloaded.  Using -r together with -l can help, but since Wget
           does not ordinarily distinguish between external and inlined
           documents, one is generally left with "leaf documents" that are
           missing their requisites.

           For instance, say document 1.html contains an "<IMG>" tag
           referencing 1.gif and an "<A>" tag pointing to external document
           2.html.  Say that 2.html is similar but that its image is 2.gif and
           it links to 3.html.  Say this continues up to some arbitrarily high
           number.

           If one executes the command:

                   wget -r -l 2 http://<site>/1.html

           then 1.html, 1.gif, 2.html, 2.gif, and 3.html will be downloaded.
           As you can see, 3.html is without its requisite 3.gif because Wget
           is simply counting the number of hops (up to 2) away from 1.html in
           order to determine where to stop the recursion.  However, with this
           command:

                   wget -r -l 2 -p http://<site>/1.html

           all the above files and 3.html's requisite 3.gif will be
           downloaded.  Similarly,

                   wget -r -l 1 -p http://<site>/1.html

           will cause 1.html, 1.gif, 2.html, and 2.gif to be downloaded.  One
           might think that:

                   wget -r -l 0 -p http://<site>/1.html

           would download just 1.html and 1.gif, but unfortunately this is not
           the case, because -l 0 is equivalent to -l inf---that is, infinite
           recursion.  To download a single HTML page (or a handful of them,
           all specified on the command-line or in a -i URL input file) and
           its (or their) requisites, simply leave off -r and -l:

                   wget -p http://<site>/1.html

           Note that Wget will behave as if -r had been specified, but only
           that single page and its requisites will be downloaded.  Links from
           that page to external documents will not be followed.  Actually, to
           download a single page and all its requisites (even if they exist
           on separate websites), and make sure the lot displays properly
           locally, this author likes to use a few options in addition to -p:

                   wget -E -H -k -K -p http://<site>/<document>

           To finish off this topic, it's worth knowing that Wget's idea of an
           external document link is any URL specified in an "<A>" tag, an
           "<AREA>" tag, or a "<LINK>" tag other than "<LINK
           REL="stylesheet">".

       --strict-comments
           Turn on strict parsing of HTML comments.  The default is to
           terminate comments at the first occurrence of -->.

           According to specifications, HTML comments are expressed as SGML
           declarations.  Declaration is special markup that begins with <!
           and ends with >, such as <!DOCTYPE ...>, that may contain comments
           between a pair of -- delimiters.  HTML comments are "empty
           declarations", SGML declarations without any non-comment text.
           Therefore, <!--foo--> is a valid comment, and so is <!--one--
           --two-->, but <!--1--2--> is not.

           On the other hand, most HTML writers don't perceive comments as
           anything other than text delimited with <!-- and -->, which is not
           quite the same.  For example, something like <!------------> works
           as a valid comment as long as the number of dashes is a multiple of
           four (!).  If not, the comment technically lasts until the next --,
           which may be at the other end of the document.  Because of this,
           many popular browsers completely ignore the specification and
           implement what users have come to expect: comments delimited with
           <!-- and -->.

           Until version 1.9, Wget interpreted comments strictly, which
           resulted in missing links in many web pages that displayed fine in
           browsers, but had the misfortune of containing non-compliant
           comments.  Beginning with version 1.9, Wget has joined the ranks of
           clients that implements "naive" comments, terminating each comment
           at the first occurrence of -->.

           If, for whatever reason, you want strict comment parsing, use this
           option to turn it on.

       Recursive Accept/Reject Options


       -A acclist --accept acclist
       -R rejlist --reject rejlist
           Specify comma-separated lists of file name suffixes or patterns to
           accept or reject. Note that if any of the wildcard characters, *,
           ?, [ or ], appear in an element of acclist or rejlist, it will be
           treated as a pattern, rather than a suffix.

       -D domain-list
       --domains=domain-list
           Set domains to be followed.  domain-list is a comma-separated list
           of domains.  Note that it does not turn on -H.

       --exclude-domains domain-list
           Specify the domains that are not to be followed..

       --follow-ftp
           Follow FTP links from HTML documents.  Without this option, Wget
           will ignore all the FTP links.

       --follow-tags=list
           Wget has an internal table of HTML tag / attribute pairs that it
           considers when looking for linked documents during a recursive
           retrieval.  If a user wants only a subset of those tags to be
           considered, however, he or she should be specify such tags in a
           comma-separated list with this option.

       --ignore-tags=list
           This is the opposite of the --follow-tags option.  To skip certain
           HTML tags when recursively looking for documents to download,
           specify them in a comma-separated list.

           In the past, this option was the best bet for downloading a single
           page and its requisites, using a command-line like:

                   wget --ignore-tags=a,area -H -k -K -r http://<site>/<document>

           However, the author of this option came across a page with tags
           like "<LINK REL="home" HREF="/">" and came to the realization that
           specifying tags to ignore was not enough.  One can't just tell Wget
           to ignore "<LINK>", because then stylesheets will not be
           downloaded.  Now the best bet for downloading a single page and its
           requisites is the dedicated --page-requisites option.

       --ignore-case
           Ignore case when matching files and directories.  This influences
           the behavior of -R, -A, -I, and -X options, as well as globbing
           implemented when downloading from FTP sites.  For example, with
           this option, -A *.txt will match file1.txt, but also file2.TXT,
           file3.TxT, and so on.

       -H
       --span-hosts
           Enable spanning across hosts when doing recursive retrieving.

       -L
       --relative
           Follow relative links only.  Useful for retrieving a specific home
           page without any distractions, not even those from the same hosts.

       -I list
       --include-directories=list
           Specify a comma-separated list of directories you wish to follow
           when downloading.  Elements of list may contain wildcards.

       -X list
       --exclude-directories=list
           Specify a comma-separated list of directories you wish to exclude
           from download.  Elements of list may contain wildcards.

       -np
       --no-parent
           Do not ever ascend to the parent directory when retrieving
           recursively.  This is a useful option, since it guarantees that
           only the files below a certain hierarchy will be downloaded.
