Thanks for the responses. This was a case where Google returned way too much!
Couple questions that I couldn't answer looking at the Curl man page:
What is the Ls parameter?
And why that User Agent? The man page seems to recommend Mozilla.
>>> -Ls -A 'Opera/9.70 (Linux ppc64 ; U; en) Presto/2.2.1' "
Rather than get the data as text, and save it, is it possible to download the file to a specific location on the local hd? The files are often zips or sits and I'd rather use them as is than write
to file with appleScript, or is that not an issue?
