Ubuntu – How to use wget with GET parameter, or redirect web

better still:

wget -c -O /pathtoLocalDirectory/choosefilename.extensionLike3gpORflvORmp4 "HerePutTheHyperlinkInsideInvertedCommasWithoutAnyExtraSpacesSay http://somesite.something.somemorethings.etc"

reasons:

• -c: if connection to server is broken before completion of your download then wget resumes from previously downloaded position, otherwise it wastes away what was already downloaded and has to restart from zero

• -O: allows you to choose the location and filename of your choice in your computer

As roadmr noted, the table on this page is generated by javascript. wget doesn't support javascript, it just dumps the page as received from the server (ie before any javascript code runs) and so the table is missing.

You need a headless browser that supports javascript like phantomjs:

$ phantomjs save_page.js http://example.com > page.html

with save_page.js:

var system = require('system');
var page = require('webpage').create();

page.open(system.args[1], function()
{
    console.log(page.content);
    phantom.exit();
});

Then if you just want to extract some text, easiest might be to render the page with w3m:

$ w3m -dump page.html

and/or modify the phantomjs script to just dump what you're interested in.
