Would it be possible to have download links that are wget compatible?
This way I could pull the download directly onto my Cacti servers rather than having to pull it down and then scp or use webmin to push to my servers.

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

Can you do the research and find a plugin for phpBB that does this?

I resist installing any additional plugins, because I have to reinstall them every upgrade..

Much like we have to do with Cacti, or were you intentionally being ironic?

The links are wget compatible. What are you getting when you try and retrieve one?

I just tried it again using firefox and putty and it did not work.
It saved the link as download.php?id=10943

basically I am copying the link url and pasting that into the wget command.
Is there a trick I am missing here? The above method works fine on direct path links such as the download links for plugins on cactiusers.org.
I will research further into phpBB as to making this possible.

Hi

IMHO it depends on your wget configuration.

On a Gentoo box here's what I get :

Code: Select all

$ wget http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=10963

And on a CentOS 5.0 :

Code: Select all

That clears up a lot. I have always used the default wget config. I will check into it and post my settings once I have some success

On a CentOS 4.5, with wget 1.10.2 (package name wget-1.10.2-0.40E), the file is saved as 'download.php?id=10963'

On a CentOS 5.0, with wget 1.10.2 (package name wget-1.10.2-7.el5), the file is saved as 'cactid-0.8.6k.zip'

I've compared quickly /etc/wgetrc on both machines (~/.wgetrc does not exist), and no difference...

Aka, build from source and all should be fine

Interesting... I am using CactiEZ which is based on CentOs.

It's based upon 4.5 not 5.0. You may be able to install the CentOS 5 RPM, not sure.
