About this extension

Builds a command line for 'curl/wget' tools to enable the download of data on a console only session.

Read the publisher’s full description

CurlWget is a little plugin that provides a 'curl' or 'wget' command line string to copy/paste on a console only session (like a unix/linux remote shell). --The "Ask where to save each file before downloading" MUST be checked on the Chrome Settings so the CurlWget will be able to intercept the download window. You may cancel the download then click on the CurlWget yellow button to retrieve the download link; click on it once to select it and right-click/copy. Note: -It is still a work in progress. If you find a scenario where it does not work as expected feel free to drop me a notice with the download adress/action that failed to fulfill and I'll look into it. -There are websites specifically blocking the use of this kind of tool. Some other sites are using "authentication" methods that Chrome forbids in developing extensions for. Keywords for it: "cliget" "wget" "terminal" "curl" "command line" v0.12.1 -UI update v0.12 -fixed apostrophe in file names v0.11 - fixed to work with Chrome v72+ v0.10.5 - minor improvement for some 'non working' reported sites v0.10.4 - fixed typo in variable name causing random bad behavior v0.10.3 - fixed previously broken functionalities with some websites/localization issues/options v0.10.0 - improved compatibility with chrome forked browsers v0.9.2 - minor corrections on text and captions v0.9.1 - attempt to fix the "corrupted extension" for Chrome 60+ v0.9 - selection range fixed (+ paypal button:))
