I'm currently using wget to pull data from a password protected website. Unfortunately, the data being saved is not from the correct webpage. For example, when I enter:
wget -O filename.txt --cookies=on --load-cookies=./cookies.txt http://www.draftexpress.com/blue/player.php?player=1086&year=2015&split=totals
it saves the webpage data from http://www.draftexpress.com/blue/player.php?player=1086. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? I am pretty new to wget, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
You need to pass the username and password to the site to get authenticated. The response you are currently getting is basically the website saying your access was denied. You can add wget --user= --password= to your list of arguments.
