Re: [Bug-wget] sudo wget --accept sandwich

[Tim Ruehsen]

Hi Marcel,

wget downloads 
"http://www.mfd.mw.tu-dresden.de/mfd/index.php/lehre/wintersemester/videos-winter";,
 parses it for 
URLs and in the end this document becomes removed because it doesn't fit your 
settings.

Your '-A asx' means: Just download/keep *.asx files
Your '--accept-regex videos' means: Just download/keep *video* files

That means, you only want to download *video*.asx files.
Is that what you want ?
Did you try -A '*.pdf' -R '*.asx' ? (Quotes to avoid shell wildcard 
expansion.)

Sorry, but I can only reach the login page... else I could have a look deeper 
inside. Right now I just have to guess.
Maybe you could give us an example HTML page.

Tim
