can anyone get wget to work with zms, i want to use zms to grab me an image and save locally but whenever i try i getno data recieved and eventually it gives up. It looks like its breaking up the url

ok then i can get wget to download the jpeg from zms if i encapsulate the path with quotes. Problem is i want to call a shell command

eg shell "wget http://jpg1.jpg"
and as i need the quoptes around the path statemant this is causing me grief. As i know little about wget can i tell it its a pth without the " or can i ue it in my scripte without the double "

Im using gambas. In vb.net i can just use """ but this wont work in linux so im hoping i can do the " thing without the " in wget

Many Thanks

James

I'm a bit confused about which quotes are which but you should be able to do

Code: Select all

"wget 'http://<...>'"

shouldn't you? Unless you want to expand shell variables then single and double quotes are pretty much the same in shells.

you would have thought so but if i do that i get

http://192.167.0.3/cgi-Bin/nph-zms?mode ... ass=xxxxxx
=> `nph-zms?mode=single&monitor=2&scale=100&user=admin&pass=xxxxxx'
Connecting to 192.167.0.3:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
19:41:54 ERROR 404: Not Found.

wgt seems to break apart the url unless tyhe quotes are in place. If i run from shell without quotes around the url i get an error. I need to get wget to download the still without the quotes, ny ideas
?

You have typed cgi-Bin rather than cgi-bin. That may be significant.

sorted needed an extra space after the last ' before the last "

Thanks Phil
