NAME
hget - retrieve a web page corresponding to a url
SYNOPSIS
hget [ -dhv ] [ -o ofile ] [ -p body ] [ -x netmntpt ] [ -r header ]
url
DESCRIPTION
Hget retrieves the web page specified by the URL url and writes it, ab‐
sent the -o option, to standard output. The known URL types are: http
and ftp.
If url is of type HTTP and the -p option is specified, then an HTTP
POST is performed with body as the data to be posted.
The -o option is used to keep a local file in sync with a web page. If
the web page has been modified later than the file, it is copied into
the file. If the file is up to date but incomplete, hget will fetch
the missing bytes.
Option -h causes HTTP headers to be printed to standard output in addi‐
tion to the transferred web page.
Option -r sends an arbitrary HTTP header.
Option -d turns on debugging written to standard error.
Normally, hget uses the IP stack mounted under /net. The -x option can
be used to specify the mount point of a different IP stack to use.
Option -v writes progress lines to standard error once a second. Each
line contains two numbers, the bytes transferred so far and the total
length to be transferred.
If the environment variable httpproxy is set, it is used as a URL de‐
noting an HTTP proxy server. All HTTP accesses use this server to get
the page instead of calling the destination server.
