Hi,
Here's a simple task. Download a tarball source file from the
PostgreSQL
website. Open your browser, find the URL to the tarball, copy/paste it
from your browser into your ssh session, then do a wget on it.
I could not find an easy way to get the URL for this task.
The webpage seems to redirect to local mirrors. I understand the goal
of redirection.
However, if I want the tarball URL, as I understand, I must start the
download in my browser, then get the URL from that process,
then copy/paste. I see no way to get the download URL without
starting the download.
For example:
Starting here:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.3.5/
How can I easily get this URL (or something similar) into my paste
buffer:
ftp://ftp5.us.postgresql.org/pub/PostgreSQL/source/v8.3.5/postgresql-8.3.5.tar.bz2
Did I miss something?
:)
