I was trying to download some journal article but library's connect from home feature seems having a problem. OK, I can ssh into my machine at school, but my Windows laptop does not give an easy way to launch X. How do I use only terminal to emulate a click on download pdf? At this point wget comes into mind.
The first attempt, wget ..., returns HTTP 403 refused.
Maybe the webserver just don't like wget?
a google search returns something helpful. Of course wget is on the not wanted list, but you can pretend you are a browser.
wget -U firefox http://.../full.pdf
This works.
